b. North Korea will not adopt a capitalist government.

c. North Korean products are too difficult to use.

d. North Korea has an embargo on American products.

e. products from North Korea are in higher demand than American-made products.

Answer 1

The best answer for the question is (A) the two countries have extremely poor political relations.

This is mainly due to North Korea’s continued experimentation on developing nuclear weapons, thus violating the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. However, it is also partly due to past cyber attacks on U.S companies and the infamous human right violations that occur in North Korea.
