Globalization can influence consumer choices by providing:

• A. More diverse products from around the world
• B. Strictly domestic brands only
• C. Higher prices due to tariffs alone
• D. Fewer options

Answer: (A)

Globalization expands trade networks so goods produced in different countries can be sold in many markets. This openness means shoppers encounter a wider range of brands, styles, foods, and technologies from around the world, not just items made domestically. The result is more diverse products available to choose from, which influences consumer decisions by broadening options and increasing competition. Options that suggest only domestic brands, prices rising solely because of tariffs, or fewer choices don’t reflect how globalization typically changes what’s on store shelves.
