Which is an example of a country that is overly dependent on another country for critical goods and services? A. A country that imports all its oil
B. A country that imports all of its luxury goods
C. A country that licenses some television shows
D. A country that has some international businesses
The correct answer is A. A country that imports all its oil.
Explanation: This example illustrates a country that is overly dependent on another country for a critical resource—oil. Dependence on a single essential commodity like oil can create vulnerabilities in a nation’s economy and energy security, especially if there are disruptions in supply or geopolitical issues. In contrast, luxury goods and television shows do not have the same level of critical importance to a country’s infrastructure and survival.
