Command economy is an economic model characterized by state control over the economy.

In a command economy, most of the companies that operate are state owned, that is, they belong to the state. Contrary to what happens in the market economy, the law of supply and demand does not dictate the laws of commerce, because the government is the one who makes the decisions.

Thus, a product that is lacking does not suffer from the increase and, likewise, a product that is accumulated does not suffer reductions.

The ideal of command economy is to direct the resources to the production of the goods that are needed at a given moment. Therefore, the third alternative is correct (C).
