The correct answer is letter C

The Market Economy is an economic system developed within the development of capitalism and has as its basic premise the centrality of the market in the economy, through the reduction of the roles exercised by the State. It is, therefore, a filiation of the ideals advocated by economic liberalism, which proclaims the so-called minimal state.

One of the bases for the consolidation of the market economy is the predominance of private property, that is, the existence of the smallest possible number of state-owned companies. Thus, if the State has a large number of companies, it must either sell them or pass them on to the private sector, in a process called privatization.
