The factor that determines for whom a society will produce goods and services is primarily:
- A. the economic system in the society.
The economic system of a society plays a crucial role in deciding how resources are allocated and who benefits from the production of goods and services. For example, in a capitalist economic system, goods and services are typically produced for those who can afford them, leading to income inequality. On the other hand, in a socialist system, there may be more focus on providing goods and services based on need rather than purchasing power.
While available resources (B), the population size (C), and external factors (D) can influence production decisions to some extent, the economic system is the primary determinant in shaping how goods and services are produced and distributed within a society.
