The correct answer is B) creating a free market.
One of Gorbachev’s reforms, perestroika, had the goal of creating a free market.
Soviet Union's leader Mikail Gorbachev created perestroika, the economic program to alleviate the situation in Russia and support the economy of the country. It was part of his important reformations. The Soviet economy was stagnant and Gorbachev knew that drastic measures were needed to "revive" the stagnant economy of the Soviet Union. Perestroika can be translated into English as a "restructuring," and it started in 1986 when Russia opened to foreign investment and free trade.
