Step-by-step explanation:

In economics, a public good refers to one that is

  • neither excludable nor rivalrous. That is, individuals cannot be exempted from its use.
  • they can also benefit from without paying for it and
  • when used by one individual, it's availability to others is not affected.

Answer:

Because it is (a.) neither excludable nor rival in consumption, a tornado siren is a public good.

Step-by-step explanation:

A tornado siren is an outdoor warning system that alert the public about an impending tornado danger, and thus expects the people to be prepared for an emergency, tune in to news for further directives or immediately seek safer shelter from impending tornado.

It does not exclude anyone for any reason and neither does it creates rivalry in consumption for the public usage. It is a straight forward alert that optimizes safety for all and sundry.
