Question 1
A traditional economy is defined by relying on customs, traditions, and cultural norms to decide production and distribution. A market economy relies on supply and demand, a mixed economy has elements of market and command, and a command economy is controlled by the government. So the correct answer is the one related to traditions.
In a command economy, the government (or a central authority) makes decisions about production, distribution, and resource allocation. Traditional leaders are for traditional economies, private businesses for market economies, and consumers influence market economies, not command.
A market economy's key feature is that prices and production are determined by competition, supply, and demand. Option B is traditional economy, C is command economy, D is mixed economy. So the one about supply - demand and competition is correct.
