A.) Placing limits on the types of products sold in a country

B.) Selling expensive luxury goods to foreign consumers

C.) Importing cheap consumer goods from foreign countries

D.) Encouraging workers to move from farms to big cities

Answer:

C.) Importing cheap consumer goods from foreign countries

Step-by-step explanation:

Mercantilism advocated for maximize the exports and minimize of a country. They did this by investing in local productions so they can bring wealth into the country by selling those local products to another country.

Under Capitalism, profit margins is more important than caring about imports/exports. Importing cheap consumer goods can create a lot of profit margin since they can sell it to the consumer in significantly higher price.
