Answer:

A. individuals

Step-by-step explanation:

When it comes to a "capitalist economy" or a "free market economy" the factors of production are owned by the individual. This means that private businesses own the land, labor, capital and entrepreneurship. This goes to show that they are the ones who are responsible for producing the goods for the customers. Their supply of good is largely dependent on the customer's demand. The government cannot interfere in such kind of economy.
