• A. Control the means of production and distribution
• B. Controls the means of production only
• C. Control the means of distribution only
• D. Distributes equal wealth among the citizens

Answer 1

The correct option is A Control the means of production and distribution

Socialism is a populist economic and political system based on the public ownership (also known as collective or common ownership) of the means of production. Those means include the machinery, tools, and factories used to produce goods that aim to directly satisfy human needs. In a socialist economy, the government owns and controls the means of production.
