Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

National defense and smog reduction are examples of public goods because they are non-excludable and non-rivalrous. A public beach, soup kitchen meals, and public roads can all be excludable or rivalrous, meaning they may not meet the criteria of a public good. The lighthouse in option B may be considered a public good, but the inclusion of online video games and toll highways make it an incorrect answer.
