Answer 1

B. A business ships its products to hundreds of countries around the world is more likely to occur in the modern era than in earlier periods of human history.

In earlier periods of human history, transportation and communication technologies were not as advanced as they are today, so it was much more difficult for businesses to ship products to distant regions of the world. However, with the development of modern transportation and communication technologies, businesses are now able to ship products to hundreds of countries around the world. This has led to the growth of global trade and the interconnectedness of economies around the world. While the other situations listed may have occurred in earlier periods of human history, the ability of businesses to ship products globally is a unique characteristic of the modern era.
