Creating jobs is important, but that's not the primary purpose. Providing essential services to the public is where it's at. Option D is the winner.

Definitely, making a profit is not the main focus for public sector organizations. It's all about meeting the needs of the people.

I don't think that's the primary purpose. Providing services is more essential for public sector organisations.

Boost national prestige? Hah, public sector organizations are far too busy trying to keep the lights on to worry about that. Option D is the way to go.
