Can you explain why my answer is wrong and what the correct one is? ---**Understanding Deadweight Loss**Deadweight loss measures the ______________.- ○ loss of efficiency in a market as a result of government intervention- ○ loss in a market to buyers and sellers that is not offset by an increase in government revenue- ○ loss in revenue to the government when buyers choose to buy less of the product- ○ lost revenue to businesses because of higher prices to consumers from the tax---### Explanation:*This image represents a multiple-choice question aimed at explaining the concept of deadweight loss in economic terms. There are four options provided, each describing potential aspects of deadweight loss. Understanding the correct definition helps in grasping broader economic principles such as market efficiency and the impacts of government policies on market behaviors.*- The first option highlights the loss of efficiency due to government intervention, suggesting that governmental actions could divert market outcomes from their most efficient state.- The second option describes a loss in market welfare that isn't compensated by increased government revenue, pointing to a net loss for buyers and sellers.- The third option addresses the reduction in government revenue when demand for a taxed product declines.- The fourth option revolves around the idea of businesses facing reduced revenue because taxes lead to higher consumer prices, subsequently lowering demand.*[Educational Note: While the provided options offer different perspectives, understanding the context and implications of deadweight loss in economics helps build foundational knowledge for analyzing policies and market efficiency in real-world scenarios.]*

Equilibrium is achieved at the output level where Qs=Qd
