Option D
A quota is a government-imposed trade restriction that limits the number or monetary value of goods that a country can import or export during a particular period. Countries use quotas in international trade to help regulate the volume of trade between them and other countries.Since supply is then smaller than it would be, foreign suppliers can charge higher prices and will provide high quality products so that people buy more of the foreign suppliers' products. Also it will encourage foreign suppliers to look for new markets where they can sell their products without any quota restrictions.
