○ liberal
○ social democrat
○ conservative
○ progressive

Explanation:

In comparative politics, a "Liberal" (in the classical sense, though modern usage can vary) is associated with free - market economics (economic liberalism) and culturally libertarian (socially liberal) policies. Social democrats typically support a mixed economy with more welfare and regulation. Conservatives often favor traditional cultural values and more regulated markets (or at least non - free - market - extreme approaches) and traditional social norms. Progressives are more about social reform and often support more government intervention in the economy and socially progressive policies. So the individual favoring free - market economics and culturally libertarian policies is a Liberal.

Answer:

A. Liberal
