Answer: D. he is motivated by self-interest.

Step-by-step explanation:

Adam Smith was an economists that shaped modern capitalism with his work "Wealth of Nations" in which he states: "It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we can expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest." meaning that by selling products that people want to buy, the butchers, brewers and bakers make money, but they can only do that if they offer products that meet the consumers criteria and needs, therefore they help society to have better things but only motivated by their own goal of making more money.
