Answer 1

Answer:

A) save domestic jobs

Explanation:

Domestic jobs: These are the categories of jobs that are available in the national country of the company or within the boundary of the country, which has a preference for the local population and has more responsibility toward national´s resources, however, foreign companies have less responsibility toward national´s resources and their sole motive is to earn profit at a lesser cost.
