Correct Answer: The assertion is true, but the reason is false.


Solution : The correct answer is (c) The assertion is true, but the reason is false.

The assertion is true. In a command economy, economic decisions are primarily made by a central authority or government, which exercises significant control over resource allocation, production, and distribution. Central planning is used to determine production levels, set prices, and allocate resources according to predetermined targets and goals.

However, the reason provided, is false. In a command economy, individual decision-making is typically limited, and private ownership of businesses is heavily restricted or absent altogether. The government exercises control over major industries and resources, and economic activities are coordinated and directed by central planning authorities.

Therefore, the correct answer is assertion is true, but the reason is false.
