D Explanation:
Statement I: tariffs in this scenario will be an anti-dumping measure to counter Protopia’s dumping of its products at below-cost prices. Statement II: Econland’s tariffs are a response to Protopia’s unfair competition, and many economists would argue that tariffs in this case are justifiable. Statement III: Econland’s tariffs are used to counter Protopia’s dumping and will thus protect domestic jobs in those industries harmed by Protopia’s actions. Statement IV: Trade protection leads to a misallocation of resources, even when in response to dumping by a trade partner. Countries can utilize diplomacy and political pressure to prevent dumping, rather than resort to tariffs.
