Answer 1

A) ​resulted in foreign nations increasing their tariffs on U.S. export

Step-by-step explanation:

The Smoot-Hawly Tariff Act of 1930 raised the import tariffs on 20,000 foreign goods, especially agricultural products. In retaliation, many foreign countries imposed tariffs on American products, reducing world trade severely. Instead of helping the US economy this Law aggravated the Great Depression.
