Question

Suppose that government procurement liberalization results in the U.K. government importing automobiles from Germany, the low-cost EU manufacturer. Cost savings could result from all of the following EXCEPT a. scale-economy effect. b. protective effect. c. trade effect. d. competition effect.

Answer 1

Answer: B. Protective effect.

Step-by-step explanation:

Protective factors have the opposite effect, they increase the chances of positive outcomes and reduces the chances of negative or bad consequences from exposure to risk. ... Examples of protective factors include "ability to refuse unsafe sex," and "positive attitudes toward contraception." So protective effect has nothing in the common with other options.
