Answer 1

I believe that out of all the options, Business-Public relationship is having the most power in the economy and in the survival of demand and supply. The reason and the explanation to support my answer goes with the example of Amazon at this time of covid-19:

1. During such crises where the government is banning and imposing restrictions over the movement and travel across the world because of covid-19, the consumers were suffering from a regular problem of how to buy goods and necessary essential home products if the shops are not opening and providing the stuff.

2. Where the demand increased out of anywhere for necessary products of household goods, the company which came to help the consumers even at this time was Amazon.

3. Amazon understood the problem of people where they are not able to pay and buy goods from the near shops and necessary items were getting limited, they started their service to provide and fulfill their social responsibility towards the people around the world where they started delivering the necessary items and goods to different parts of the world.

4. By using the protective masks and also taking care of sanitation and social distancing for the employees, the company came to bring power and provided the goods to the customers as soon as possible to make necessary products available to them at their doorstep:

5: This initiative by Amazon shows how strong is the relationship between a consumer and a business provider where if the demand of the consumer is going very high, the business would anyhow fulfill it to practice both economic benefit and societal benefit. This shows a strong and trust worthy relationship between a Business and Public relationship.
