Answer:

D. Consumers are free to make their own choices.

Step-by-step explanation:

A free enterprise system is one where the market can operate freely without government regulation and control that prevents its activities or profitability. Of course, there are legal requirements that companies must comply with in order to operate in a locality, but trade occurs spontaneously, where the private sector is free to generate profits and choose what it will offer in the market, in what way, at what price, etc., and so in the same way the consumer is free to make his own choices, and to consume from the companies he deems most appropriate, without external obligations.
