What benefit could national unity bring to traders?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Creation of a larger and simpler market
The governing concept is the economic benefit of national integration. When separate states unite, internal customs barriers, different rules, and fragmented markets can be reduced. Traders can then sell goods across a wider area with fewer delays and lower transaction costs. Therefore option A is correct. Ending trade, adding barriers, or keeping a separate currency in every town would make exchange more difficult rather than creating unity.
