Public goods are to government provision as free riders are to which of the following?

Public goods are services or resources that everyone can use without paying for them, like clean air or national defense. Because these goods are available to everyone, some people might take advantage of them without contributing, which is known as being a free rider. In this situation, free riders can be compared to those who benefit from public goods without helping to fund or support them. For example, if a community builds a park funded by taxes, those who do not pay taxes but still use the park are considered free riders. This creates a challenge for governments, as they need to find ways to encourage everyone to contribute fairly to support public goods.
