Answer:

The second option

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, capitalism is an economic idea, so you can eliminate the first and last option right away. The idea of capitalism is that you have private owners that control the economy, that can receive profit. This runs contrary to a state-run economy, which is what communism has. So, the second option is the only choice that make sense because it defines what capitalism is: The idea that you can have an economy that +for the most part) is run completely by private businesses, without outside government interference.
