Solution

The best description that characterizes common resources is option b: Common resources are those where it is hard to keep non-payers from using the good, and their use of the good negatively impacts others’ ability to use it. This is because common resources are non-excludable (everyone has access to them) and rivalrous (one person's use of the resource reduces its availability for others). Examples of common resources include fisheries, forests, and clean air.
