A farmer selling crops is considered which of the following?

• A. A consumer
• B. A producer
• C. A distributor
• D. An investor

Answer: (B)

Producing goods is the key idea here. A farmer uses land, seeds, labor, and equipment to turn inputs into crops, so the farmer is the one who creates the product—making them a producer. A consumer buys and uses goods, a distributor helps move goods through the market, and an investor provides capital but does not directly produce the goods.
