What was the economic system of the GDR called?

- B Planned economy ✓ Correct answer
- C Supply and demand
- D Capitalism
Explanation
The GDR ran a planned economy, where the state decided what was produced and how goods were distributed, rather than leaving this to market forces.

- Supply and demand and capitalism both describe market systems, not the GDR's model.
