Explanation:

Question 1

NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) is a free - trade agreement that aimed to reduce trade barriers between the US, Canada, and Mexico. NATO is a military alliance, G20 is a forum for economic cooperation among major economies (not a free - trade agreement - reducing - barriers - through - free - trade example like NAFTA), and GTO is not a well - known free - trade - related entity for this context.

The US has a market - oriented economic system where market forces play a large role in economic decisions. Cuba has a command economy where the government makes most of the economic decisions. The other options don't fit: the US isn't defined by just "high - income" (and Cuba isn't just "low - income" in terms of economic system type), the US isn't defined by "technological" as an economic system type (and Cuba doesn't have a "shortage of technology" as an economic system), and the US isn't "regulated" in the sense of a command economy (and Cuba doesn't have a "lack of regulation" as an economic system type).

Answer:

A. NAFTA
