Answer 1

A. quantitative restriction on an import imposed by the importing country

Step-by-step explanation:

In international trade when a country want to limit the quantity of a product that is being imported into the country they impose a quota.

A quota is a restriction of the number or monetary value of a product that can be imported into a country.

In most cases this is implemented to promote local industries that produce the product.

Less of the product imported from other countries, the more patronage local industries get.
