C) Government-owned companies tend to be run by less qualified and less competent managers than the private companies.

Possible explanations for this include the following, except "government-owned companies tend to be run by less qualified and less competent managers than the private companies".

Option: C

Explanation:

According to a study of reports of plants controlled under the Clean Air Act and the Safe Drinking Water Act from 2001-2011, publicly owned facilities are less likely to face fines or other penalties for violations than those owned and operated by private firms. The reasons given by different experts were like higher regulatory compliance costs, as they often have to go through political processes to raise the money required to upgrade their facilities. And consumers or taxpayers who protest to higher rates and have the political power to block them could face backlashes.

i know right it’s not fair some people are just so rude unlike you your actually trying to get to know people and i think that is very kind

being born in poverty would limit the people's chances, opportunities and benefits.

this happen because of several things, such as:

- poor people tend to gain less access to good education and nutrition. this mean that their chance to obtain high paying jobs would also be limited.

- poor people tend to socialize with other poor people while the rich tend to socialize with other rich people. this means that simply throguh their social circle, rich people would have more business opportunities compared to the poor people.

- rich people tend to have more capital in their disposal. this would benefit them in business since it is far easier for them to fund their business operation compared to poor people.
