Model Answer

Answer: A — Private Sector

In the private sector, ownership of assets and delivery of services is in the hands of private individuals or companies, and activities are guided by the motive to earn profits.

Explanation

The two clues in the box directly match the textbook definition of the Private Sector. Public Sector is government-owned; Cooperative Sector is owned collectively by members. Examiners expect you to pick Option A and may ask for a one-line justification — always link both clues to your choice.
