B.are not subject to tariffs and other strict types of trade regulations.
C.receive greater funding from international organizations and microfinance institutions.
D.are generally more attractive to multinational corporations looking to invest in a market.

Answer 1

The answer is A. Reduce environmental risks and costs associated with shipping goods long distances.

Answer 2

• Answer:

(A): reduces environmental risks and costs associated with shipping goods long distances.

• Explanation:

Economic development has brought significant improvements to society as a whole, but has also brought socio-environmental problems, since the energy matrix of most countries uses polluting fossil fuels, such as oil. This has now become a major problem so that countries need to take action to reduce the environmental impact of their development, which we call sustainable development.

One such measure may be to invest in localized production that is capable of supplying a region. The positive impact of this type of action is twofold, it reduces the cost of transportation, cheapening the products, and reduces the pollution associated with the emission of fuel pollutants.
