Hello!

The answer to your question is option A: "To protect the health and safety of consumers."

The government creates regulations to ensure that the goods and services that are being sold to consumers are safe for use or consumption.

The answer cannot be the second option because the government does not limit competition; the purpose of the mixed-market economy is to allow businesses to compete with one another and develop the best products for consumers.

The answer also cannot be the third option because the government does not guarantee that all businesses will make money. If a business is unable to compete with other businesses in a field, the business will not succeed. The government is not required to ensure that all businesses succeed.

The fourth option is also incorrect because the government does not educate consumers about specific products. Consumers are expected to research and make their own educated decisions when purchasing a product.

I hope you found this helpful! Have a lovely day!
