Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

The free-rider problem occurs when people enjoy the benefits from a good or service without paying for it. The free-rider problem occurs with public goods because no one can be excluded from using them without paying for them. As a result, the free-rider problem is that the private market produces too little of these goods. To produce the efficient quantity, the government can intervene by taxing people and using those funds to pay for the public good.
