Explanation:

To determine which company faces legal differences as a barrier, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: An African company with import limits due to international trade restrictions (like quotas/tariffs) involves legal regulations (trade laws) limiting imports, so this is a legal difference barrier.
• Option 2: Selling to specific demographics is about market segmentation, not legal differences.
• Option 3: Taking overseas contracts for production is related to outsourcing/cost - efficiency, not legal barriers.
• Option 4: Reflecting cultural values in a product line is about cultural adaptation, not legal differences.

Answer:

A. An African company that can only import a limited amount of metal from an Arab country because of international trade restrictions
