Explanation:

The factors "Access to larger markets", "More efficient industries", and "Greater influence on world markets" are all positive aspects related to economic activities. Economic unions aim to enhance economic cooperation and integration, and these factors are typical advantages that economic unions can bring. For example, economic unions can remove trade barriers, allowing businesses to access larger markets (domestic + foreign), which in turn can lead to more efficient industries through economies of scale and increased competition. Also, as a unified economic entity (in the case of strong economic unions like the EU in some aspects), they can have a greater influence on world markets compared to individual smaller economies.

B. advantages of economic unions.
