Final answer:

The correct option is b. Goods-based services.

Goods-based services is not a type of service in the non-ownership classification as it involves physical products that consumers own or use, unlike non-ownership services like convenience, advisory, or hospitality services.

Step-by-step explanation:

The type of service in the non-ownership classification that is not correct is goods-based services. Non-ownership services refer to services where consumers do not take ownership of any physical goods. Examples include convenience services (like transportation or car washes), advisory services (such as consulting, legal advice, or financial planning), and hospitality services (e.g., hotels and restaurants). Goods-based services, however, imply the existence of a tangible product which the consumer either owns or uses, distinguishing them from the non-ownership services category.

In contrast, nonexcludable goods or services are those which cannot be withheld from those who do not pay for them, such as police protection, roads, and primary education. These can be enjoyed by anyone and are typically provided by the government. Services like plumbing or journalism, which use some physical resources, still do not fit into the nonexcludable category as access to them can typically be controlled and they are not usually funded by the government.
