Haha, imagine if the government's sole purpose was to make a profit. That would be like a fire department charging you to put out your house fire! D is clearly the right answer.

But don't you think creating jobs is also important for the economy?

D is the obvious choice here. The public sector is all about delivering services to the community, not about commercial gain. C'mon, who would even pick C?

D is the correct answer. The public sector is not a business - it's a public service. Imagine a government that just tries to make money rather than helping its citizens. That would be a disaster!

I'd have to go with D as well. The government exists to provide essential services, not to line its own pockets.

Definitely D. The public sector is all about serving the people, not making profit. Although boosting national prestige and creating jobs are nice side effects.
