Which term can refer to both a central city and financial resources used for production?

• A. City
• B. Wealth
• C. Capital
• D. Currency

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is that one word can have two related meanings: a central city where government is based, and the financial resources or physical assets used to produce goods and services. Capital as a city refers to the seat of government. In economics, capital means the inputs that help create products—money, equipment, factories, and other assets that boost production. The question pairs these two senses in a single term, so this is the best fit because it covers both the location of power and the resources that drive economic activity.

The other terms don’t fit as well. A city is just a place, not the broader idea of production inputs. Wealth is money or assets in general but doesn’t specifically denote the production inputs in the way capital does. Currency is money itself, not the broader set of productive resources. Capital uniquely links both the idea of a central city and the resources used to produce.
