Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Online video games, a private beach, toll highways, and cable Internet service are all examples of goods that are excludable (meaning you can prevent people from using them) and nonrival (meaning one person's use doesn't affect another person's ability to use them). Public roads and soup kitchen meals are non-excludable goods, while smog reduction and national defense are non-excludable and rival goods. A lighthouse is non-excludable and non-rival, but cable Internet service is a better fit for this category. Therefore, option B is the best choice as it exclusively contains excludable and non-rival goods.
