Question

the number limit on how many items of a particular product can be imported from a particular country is the ______.
tariff
subsidy
embargo
quota

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Tariff: A tax on imports/exports, not a quantity limit.
• Subsidy: Financial aid to domestic industries, not related to import quantity limits.
• Embargo: A complete ban on trade with a country, not a numerical limit on a product.
• Quota: A specific numerical limit on the quantity of a product that can be imported. This matches the definition of a number limit on imported items.

Answer:

D. quota
