Question

a specific territory or zone that has laws and regulations different from the rest of the county is called a(n)
tax - free zone.
work zone.
economic zone.
border - free zone.

Explanation:

The question is about a specific territory with different laws/regulations from the rest of the country. An "economic zone" is a designated area with distinct economic regulations (like trade, tax, business rules) differing from the broader national framework. "Work zone" relates to construction/safety, "tax - free zone" is too narrow (focuses only on tax), and "border - free zone" is about movement, not general regulatory differences. So "economic zone" fits best.

Answer:

economic zone
