Explanation:

Question 1 (Economic System Identification)

In a traditional economic system, occupations and economic activities are passed down through generations, like the father and son both being farmers. A market system is driven by supply and demand, a command system by government control, and a mixed system has elements of both. So the traditional system fits.

Globalization involves increased travel and international trade, which makes people more connected. This connectivity allows diseases to spread more easily. Option A is about virus mutation (not globalization - related diffusion), B says physical barriers help (opposite of globalization's effect), C is incorrect as pandemics do affect economy/life. So D is correct.

Import taxes (tariffs) increase the price of imported goods. Removing them would lower the price of imports. Lower prices typically lead to higher sales (demand increases with lower price). Option A is extreme (domestic manufacturing won't stop), C is incorrect (imports won't be banned), D is unrelated to import tax removal. So B is correct.

Answer:

A. traditional
