Which of the following is not an important reason for government ownership of industries?

The option that is not an important reason for government ownership of industries is "Making high profit." The primary reasons for government ownership of industries include the provision of essential services, the need for large capital requirements, avoiding duplication of services, and preventing private monopoly.
