a. The statement is false because a policy motivated by good intentions may have unintended negative consequences.

d. The statement is false because sound economic reasoning is required to anticipate unintended consequences of policies that are motivated by good intentions.

Explanation:

It is important to have good intentions when creating policies but a sound policy requires more than just good intentions.

To create a sound policy, sound economic principles and reasoning must be employed. This is important to predict and tackle unintended negative consequences that may arise, irrespective of how good the intentions were in creating the policies.
