(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)- (I)

(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)- (II)

Correct Answer:

(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)- (II)

Explanation:

The correct answer is option (4) : (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)- (II)

  • (A) Licensing Policy → (III) Promotes regional equality. Licensing was used to regulate the location and expansion of industries so that industrial development could be spread across different regions, thereby promoting regional equality.
  • (B) Tariff → (IV) Tax on imported goods. A tariff is a tax imposed on imported goods to make them more expensive and protect domestic industries.
  • (C) Quota → (I) Quantity of goods which can be imported. A quota specifies the maximum quantity of a good that can be imported during a given period.
  • (D) Import substitution → (II) Inward looking trade strategy. Import substitution aims to replace imported goods with domestically produced goods and is therefore an inward-looking trade strategy.
