What is a key feature of socialism?

  1. No government

  2. Citizen rule

  3. Government control of large businesses

  4. Absolute monarchy

The correct answer is: Government control of large businesses

As socialism is a political and economic system where the means of production and distribution of goods and services are owned and regulated by the community as a whole, government control of large businesses is a key feature. This option ensures that the government can regulate the economy to promote greater equality and social welfare for its citizens. Option A, no government, and option B, citizen rule, do not accurately reflect the principles of socialism as it does involve government intervention. Option D, absolute monarchy, is a form of government that contradicts the principles of socialism as it is a system of rule by a single monarch with absolute power.
