Explanation:

• Lenin's NEP kept key sectors (heavy industry, banking, mines) under state control to maintain socialist core infrastructure.
• The NEP reintroduced limited capitalist elements (like private small businesses, peasant market sales) into the socialist system, making it a modified form of the old capitalist framework while retaining state control over major industries.
• Private ownership of small businesses was allowed under NEP, so the third statement is incorrect.
• Peasants were allowed to sell surplus produce openly under NEP, so the fourth statement is incorrect.

Answer:

A. Heavy industry, banking, and mines were government owned.
B. The NEP was a modified version of the old capitalist system.
