B. Lawmakers in the government voting on what will be produced. producers deciding what society wants most.

C. Consumers and firms choosing which goods and services to buy or produce.

D. Consumers dictating to firms what they need most.

The correct answer is C

Explanation:

. A market economy is based on the basic principle of supply and demand. This means that there is a group that needs goods and services for their daily lives (consumers) and another group that is responsible for producing these goods and services in order to obtain results in return.

In this market economy neither the workers, nor the bosses, nor the states decide unidirectionally what should be consumed or what should be produced (there are exceptions as mandatory vaccines). For example, society can demand more electric cars because of the increase in the price of gasoline (a demand will create the supply) or a company can create a new air conditioner that everyone wants to have in their home. (an offer will create the demand).

The variation of supply and demand will also be affected by the different prices of goods and services that are in the market.
