Final answer:

Nonexcludable goods or services, such as police protection, roads, and primary education, are available to all members of society without direct costs, and usage by one person does not prevent others from using them.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nonexcludable goods or services are those that cannot be withheld from consumers and where use by one individual does not significantly reduce availability to others. Among the options provided:

  • Police protection is nonexcludable because it's a public service provided without direct charge to individuals and cannot be withheld from anyone in the society.
  • Roads are another nonexcludable service since they're generally available for public use and one person's usage doesn't significantly diminish others' ability to use them.
  • Primary education, provided publicly, is nonexcludable as it’s offered to all children without direct costs to the families and cannot be easily restricted to only paying consumers.

On the other hand, streaming music from satellite transmission programs and cell phone service are excludable because providers can prevent access to these services if the user does not pay for them.
