Which antiquated term was used during the cold war to describe communist countries that disregarded the free market in favor of planned economies? a. global north b. third world c. second world d. global south?

The answer is C. "Second World". I actually learned this from a Latvian friend of mine that "1st world" countries were capitalist countries, "2nd world" were communist, and "3rd World" were countries that I believe hadn't chosen a side, though don't quote me on the last one I ain't sure. However your answer is definitely second world.

It might be the second one
