A park is most likely a public good as it is non-excludable (cannot exclude anyone from entering the park) and non-rivalrous (one person's use of the park does not diminish another person's use). Therefore, it is available for everyone in the community to use and enjoy.

B) Electricity is not a public good as it is excludable (access can be limited to those who pay for it) and rivalrous (one person's use of electricity can limit the amount available to others).

C) A computer is not a public good as it is excludable (access can be limited to those who own or purchase it) and rivalrous (one person's use of a computer limits the availability for others).

D) Social Security payments are not a public good as they are excludable (only those who qualify based on certain criteria receive the payments) and rivalrous (one person receiving social security payments reduces the amount available for others).
