Answer:
c. The infant industry argument
Step-by-step explanation:
Infant industry argument is a mechanism for trade protectionism. It argues that a new industry does not have the economies of scale enjoyed by older competitors.
So they will need to be protected and funded till they develop and match up with economies of scale of other competitors.
Infant industries need to be supported as they are not able compete favourably with other companies from abroad.
Their protection will lead to a more vibrant economy where multiple players compete favourably.
