Answer 1

Answer:

The best explanation for the need to allocate resources in the game of economics is that:

C) There are not enough resources to produce all of the goods and services that everyone wants.

Explanation:

In economics, it has been established that human needs are insatiable and that the resources to meet the needs are not readily and sufficiently available.  This is the bedrock of Economics.  It is the reason that Economics is studied as a separate course.  Scarcity and needs are important concepts in human interactions.  Therefore, the ability to allocate scarce resources to enable the production of goods and services is key to human development.
