Solution

The correct option is D Scarcity
Scarcity refers to the basic economic problem, the gap between limited – that is, scarce – resources and theoretically limitless wants.
Scarcity, or limited resources, is one of the most basic economic problems we face. Scarcity arises where resources are limited and where the wants of society are unlimited. Hence it is required that the resources are efficiently allocated.
