Here's the solution to the economics quiz with explanations for each question:
---
1. Buyers and sellers make the decisions.
✔ Correct Answer: C. Free Enterprise System
Explanation:
In a *Free Enterprise System* (also called a market economy), economic decisions are made by individuals and businesses through voluntary exchanges in markets. Buyers and sellers interact freely, and prices are determined by supply and demand — not by government or tradition.

2. Supply and demand determines how much an item costs.
✔ Correct Answer: A. Free Enterprise System
Explanation:
This is the defining feature of a *Free Enterprise System*. Prices are set by the interaction of supply (how much producers are willing to sell) and demand (how much consumers want to buy). In command or traditional economies, prices are often set by custom or government.
