Question

international trade organizations promote free trade by encouraging countries to
○ maintain their tariffs.
○ establish their trade quotas.
○ limit their protectionism policies.
○ develop their products.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Maintaining tariffs (first option) goes against free trade as tariffs restrict imports.
• Establishing trade quotas (second option) also restricts trade, so it's not a free - trade - promoting action.
• Protectionism policies (like tariffs, quotas) limit free trade. Encouraging countries to limit these policies (third option) aligns with the goal of free trade, as free trade is about reducing barriers to international trade.
• Developing products (fourth option) is about a country's internal production and not directly related to promoting free trade through the actions of international trade organizations.

Answer:

C. limit their protectionism policies.
