Answer 2

Answer:

Option C - The Soviet Union is the correct answer.

Explanation:

• The production and distribution of goods were directed and centralized by the government.
• Command economy was adopted by The Soviet Union.
• The policy of War communism which involved the coercive requisition of agricultural production, centralized distribution of output, nationalization of industry, and attempts to eliminate money circulation, free trade and private enterprises was the first Bolshevik experience with a command economy.
• Lenin replaced war communism with the New Economic Policy in 1921 after the severe economic collapse.
• He legalized private ownership and free trade of small businesses.
• This restored the economy.

Hence, The Soviet Union had a command economy.
