What loss can genuine artisans face due to fake products in handicrafts?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Their identity and sales may be affected
Fake products may resemble genuine handicrafts but are often sold at lower prices. This can confuse buyers, weaken recognition of the real artisan’s work, and reduce sales. Option B is a close distractor, but fake goods generally increase, rather than reduce, competition for genuine products. Exam tip: Link counterfeit handicrafts with harm to an artisan’s identity, reputation, and income.
