Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

In a command-and-control economic system, economic decisions about resource allocation are made by a central authority, such as a central government or a king or queen. Under command and control, this central authority decides what items will be produced, how will the items be produced, and who will obtain those items. In a price or market system, the what, how and for whom issues are determined via decentralized decision making among buyers and sellers in the market.
