The correct answer is D. the profit motive outweighs public interest

Privatization as we all know is the transfer of the ownership of a public enterprise to private individuals or the private sector for the sole purpose of profit maximization.

This profit-driven motive is disadvantageous in the way that, the establishment or enterprises ends up placing their need to make a profit above service delivery which is the core motive of public enterprise.
