saudi arabias economy would best be described as

d a mixed economy with large amounts of command.

A market economy has private ownership of most industries, while a command economy is fully controlled by the government. Saudi Arabia's government controls the dominant oil sector, but other businesses are privately owned, so it combines command elements (for the key industry) and market elements, making it a mixed economy with strong command features. Options A and B are incorrect because the economy is not entirely one type. Option C is wrong as there is no mention of traditional economic elements.

Answer:

D. a Mixed economy with large amounts of Command
