Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is: D) It is an export quota levied by a country on the quantity of its exports.

Explanation:

Voluntary export restraints (VER) are agreements between an exporting country E and an importing country I which limits the amount of specific goods that country E can export to country I. The difference between quotas and VERs is that quotas are imposed limits by the importing country while VERs are negotiated limits.
