The correct option is A.

The Soviet Union economy was based on the principle of state ownership of the factors of production, that is, the state controls investments and public ownership of industries. Based on the system of state ownership, the economy of Soviet Union is managed through the state planning commission. Thus, the citizens has controlled access to consumers goods, they only have those goods that are given to them by the state.
