During the Middle Ages, many villages had areas reserved for families to take their cows or sheep to graze. All families were welcome to use this land without charge. This situation likely led to a(n):

A. finite of proportions.

B. tragedy of the commons.

C. marketable public good.

D. exhaustive equilibrium.

The answer to this question is B. Tragedy of the commons

Explanation:

A tragedy of the commons is a phenomenon that occurs when a common or public resource is depleted or destroyed due to individual interests. Besides this, a tragedy of the commons is the result of overconsumption and not considering collective interests.

This phenomenon likely occurred in the case presented because it is likely each family that owned sheep or cows only thought about its interest and tried to use the common good (areas to graze) as much as possible, without considering others' right to use it or the collective interest of preserving the area. This likely led to the depletion of the resource, and therefore a tragedy of the commons.
