Correct Answer: Option C

Explanation

A disadvantage of privatization is that the profit motive outweighs public interest. This is because private companies are
primarily driven by profit. As a result, they may neglect the public interest in favor of actions that increase their profits.
For example, they may increase prices, reduce quality, or cut corners in ways that harm the public.
