Answer:

These are the answer choices for the question:

A. Cooperation between governments and citizens

B. Commitment to maintaining long-standing customs

C. Corruption in the leadership of powerful groups

D. Competition between different businesses

And this is the correct answer choice:

B. Commitment to maintaining long-standing customs

Step-by-step explanation:

Traditional economies are economies that have not yet industrialized, that tend to be small-scale, and that give great weight to traditions when taking economic decisions, precisely.

Examples of traditional economies can be seen in nomadic, semi-nomadic, and pastoralist peoples, who often lack enough economic complexity to become large populations with complex poltiical and economic institutions.

In these societies, economic decisions may be guided more by the insight of a leader, than by economic rationality per se, as long as the bare minimum needs for survival are met beforehand.
