B. determining who most needs them most turns out to be not so clear, and often depends on social values. And in politics, social values carry a lot of weight.
Allocation by need refers to the practice of giving or selling goods only to people who most need them. In this approach, resources are distributed based on individuals' level of need rather than their ability to pay for them or their place in line.
To determine the answer, we need to understand the concept of allocation by need and then choose the option that most accurately describes it.
Option A, pricing goods based on want rather than need, does not align with the concept of allocation by need. Option C, giving or selling goods to whoever will stand in line the longest, does not consider individuals' need but rather their patience or willingness to wait. Option D, pricing goods so that even the most vulnerable members of society can afford them, addresses the affordability aspect but does not explicitly account for their level of need.
Therefore, the correct answer is B) giving or selling goods only to people who most need them.
