Question

economic policy must strike a balance between ideals and
○ freedom.
○ needs.
○ supply and demand.
○ private property.

Explanation:

Economic policy involves balancing theoretical ideals (like economic goals or principles) with practical aspects. "Needs" here refers to the real - world requirements of the economy, society, or individuals. Freedom is more related to political or social freedom concepts, supply and demand is a market mechanism, and private property is a property - related concept. The balance between ideals (what we want economically in theory) and needs (what is actually required in practice) makes the most sense for economic policy.

Answer:

B. needs.
