Answer:

D. owned by private citizens

Step-by-step explanation:

A for-profit organization can be defined as a type of organization that is created to primarily generate more revenue than its operating costs by providing lawful services to customers. By generating more revenue than operating costs, a for-profit organization is able to make profit.

Some examples of for-profit organizations are privately owned establishments such as hospitals, hotels, restaurants, supermarkets, gas stations, etc.

Hence, a characteristic of a for-profit healthcare facility is that it is owned by private citizens.

Unlike government agencies or organizations which are being run with public funds and at a subsidized rate (focuses on services everyone can afford), for-profit are mostly owned by private citizens, who are always after making profits from the business.
