John Smith Is a Typical Citizen

John Smith is a typical citizen. Economic theory suggests that he is likely to make a more informed choice when he buys a personal computer than when he votes for a congressional candidate. This view is

A) false because the actions of legislators will exert a greater impact on Smith's welfare than will the purchase of the computer.
B) false; Smith will tend to choose more carefully when he makes public choices than when he makes private choices.
C) uncertain; it would be true if, and only if, Smith's spending on personal computers exceeds his tax bill.
D) true; since Smith can decide what computer to buy, but his individual vote is very unlikely to decide the outcome of a congressional election, he has more incentive to inform himself about the computer than the congressional election.
