For keyboard navigation, use the up/down arrow keys to select an answer.aThese quantities will not be produced by the private market, but the government can add these quantities to production using a subsidy, resulting in higher economic efficiency.bThese quantities will not be produced by the private market, but the government can add these quantities to production using a tax, resulting in higher economic efficiency.cThese quantities will be produced by the private market, but the government can eliminate these quantities from production using a subsidy, resulting in higher economic efficiency.dThese quantities will be produced by the private market, but the government can eliminate these quantities from production using a tax, resulting in higher economic efficiency.
