What was the effect of many small states and customs barriers on trade in Europe?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Trade became difficult and costly
The correct answer is A. Europe’s many small states often maintained separate laws, currencies, tolls and customs systems. Goods crossing several boundaries could face repeated checks, duties and delays, increasing the cost and reducing the speed of trade. This is why economic nationalists supported the removal of internal barriers. The other options wrongly suggest free trade, abolition of taxes or an automatic end to industry.
