C) Economic resources include only money. D) Economic resources exist only at the individual level.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Economic resources are limited.

Economic resources are those goods and services that can be converted into valuable products for individual and business purposes.

There are four major types of economic resources:

1. land,

2. labor,

3. capital and

4. entrepreneurship.

 

Land and labor are natural and human resources, while capital means physical resources or money.

Entrepreneurship converts these resources into usable goods.
