The correct answer is A. Public safety.
A public good is a type of good that is non-excludable and non-rivalrous, meaning that it is available to everyone and consumption by one individual does not diminish its availability to others.
In the given options, the only example that fits this definition is A. Public safety. Public safety refers to the collective efforts put in place by government institutions to protect the well-being and security of the public. It is non-excludable because everyone in a society benefits from public safety measures, regardless of whether or not they contribute to funding it. It is also non-rivalrous because the provision of public safety services to one person does not decrease the availability of those services to others.
B. A house is not a public good because it is both excludable (it can be privately owned and access can be restricted) and rivalrous (only one person or family can use it at a time).
C. An act is too vague to determine whether it is a public good or not without further context. Some acts might be considered public goods, while others may not.
D. A cell phone is not a public good because it is excludable (ownership can be restricted) and rivalrous (only one person can use it at a time).
