a. Sovereign immunity
b. Expropriation
c. Protectionism

Answer 1

Answer: Option B

Explanation: In simple words, exporation refers to a process under which the state or any other such authority take over any property from its owner. This could occur for any kind of social reasons.

In the given case, the ice cream parlors were the property of swenson's ice cream but the state took over it and starts operating it on their own.

Hence from the above we can conclude that the correct option is B.
