Answer: B

Embargo

Step-by-step explanation:

An embargo is a government order that restricts commercial activities between the home country and other country on some specified items over a specified period of time.

The most common reason for placing embargo is usually as a result of political tension or conflicts between two or more countries. Embargo could also be placed as a military strategy to reduce the flow of military techs or as a means to boost local production of some commodities.
