Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

The major difference lies in how the two types of economies answer the three basic questions. In a command economy, a central government either directly or indirectly sets output targets, incomes, and prices. In a laissez-faire economy, individual people and firms pursue their own self-interests without any central direction or regulation.
