This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2025 Tier 2 Paper 1 Question Paper (19-Jan-2026)
The correct answer is

Both private and public sectors

A mixed economy is one in which both the private sector and the public sector coexist and contribute to economic activity. Private firms own and run a substantial part of production, while the government also owns and operates key enterprises, regulates markets, and provides public goods.

India is a classic example: the Industrial Policy Resolutions (1948 and 1956) and the Constitution's Directive Principles laid the foundation for this dual structure.

Hence the correct answer is Both private and public sectors.
