Final Answer : B, Explanation :  The fourteen propositions agreed upon by a majority of economists typically focus on principles that have broad consensus in the field, such as the benefits of free trade, the drawbacks of subsidies, and the impacts of fiscal policy. The proposition regarding the implementation of universal healthcare (B) is more of a policy preference that intersects with economics, health, and politics, and does not represent a consensus economic principle like the others listed.
