Which of the following best explains why scarcity cannot be completely eliminated?

BBecause technology cannot improve resource availability
CBecause resources are infinite but wants are limited
DBecause governments do not allocate resources efficiently
Step-by-Step Solution
  1. Step 1: Understand the cause of scarcity

    Scarcity exists because human wants are unlimited while resources are limited.
