non-excludable and non-rivalrous

Answer 1

The correct response is:

non-excludable and non-rivalrous

These characteristics define public goods, which are typically provided by the government because they can be consumed by anyone without reducing availability to others (non-rivalrous), and individuals cannot be effectively excluded from using them (non-excludable). Examples include clean air, public parks, and national defense.
