Answer 1

The answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Free flows of capital to countries with lower costs of production is a major development in the globalization era. In many industries, the US labor is too expensive, taxes are higher and other productions costs, too. That´s why many corporations have moved to China and many developing countries to take advantage of lower costs and other benefits.
