Which term describes an economic system where the government controls all production and distribution of goods?

• A. Communism
• B. Government
• C. Natural Born Citizen
• D. Political Office

Answer: (A)

When an economic system has the government own and plan all production and distribution of goods, that arrangement is communism. It centers on public ownership of resources and centralized decision-making about what to produce, how to produce, and who gets the products, rather than letting markets determine these things through prices and private ownership. In this setup, the state aims to allocate resources to meet people's needs rather than generate profits. The other options aren’t descriptions of an economic system. "Government" refers to the ruling body itself, not a specific way an economy is organized. "Natural Born Citizen" is a legal qualification for certain offices, not an economic arrangement. "Political Office" is a role within government, not a way of handling production and distribution.
