mexicos concerns about maintaining control of its oil interests resulted in an agreement with canada and the united states to exempt the mexican oil industry from any liberalization of foreign - investment regulations achieved under nafta. this is an example of:
a. concern over political ideologies.
b. a concern of national sovereignty.
c. concern over job losses.
d. concern over costs.
e. concern over safety.

Explanation:

National sovereignty refers to a country's ability to exercise control over its own affairs. Mexico's move to exempt its oil - industry from foreign - investment liberalization under NAFTA is about protecting its control over its oil interests, which is a concern of national sovereignty. Political ideologies are more about beliefs and systems of thought, job losses are related to employment impacts, costs are about financial aspects, and safety is about security of operations. None of these other options are as directly related to the situation as national sovereignty.

Answer:

B. a concern of national sovereignty.
