Answer:

The option that is correct is "Dubai, Lacota, and their NASDAQ company must comply with U.S. laws."

Step-by-step explanation:

They must comply with U.S laws because they owned companies that operate within American borders. Had it been they don't have a company in America then the law would not have been applicable to them.
