Answer 1

The correct answer would be option D, India has high import tariffs.

Mark feels that Darren is too optimistic and that this venture may not turn out to be as profitable as Darren expects it to be. Darren's view is based on the assumption that India has high import tariffs.

Explanation:

When companies import or export products in or out of the country, they are usually charged with a duty which they have to pay on the import or export of the products. This is called as the Tariff.

While considering the export of a product to another country, the import tariffs of that other country has a pretty much impact on the profits of that company's Sales. Higher the tariffs, lower the profits and vice versa.

So when Mark wanted to export his product to India, Darren was with the view that India has high import tariffs which will restrict them to have huge profits of exporting their product.
