The correct answer is option A) "benefits provided to big businesses, but workers are not protected ". President Barack Obama opposed many free trade agreements because they not provide protection for the work class people. Despite opening new markets would benefited big businesses, President Obama stated that free trade agreements would risk labor protections for the workers.
