Answer:
Option (A) and (D) are correct.
Explanation:
When there is an enforcement by the government for rent control and force landlords to lower the apartment price below the equilibrium level.
This means that there is a fall in the price of apartments then this will lead to increase the demand for apartments by the consumers. Therefore, demand for apartments exceeds the supply of apartments. It will be less profitable for the suppliers to increase the supply of apartments. Hence, this will lead to fall in the quality of apartments because landlords are less interested in the maintenance of the apartments.
Lower price of apartments also results in black market. Most of the landlords are trying to fool the government and charge higher prices from the consumers. This will be done with no proper paper work and legal documentation. So, there is a creation of black market.
Back in 2015, McDonald’s was struggling. In Europe, sales were down 1.4% across the previous 6 years; 3.3% down in the US and almost 10% down across Africa and the Middle East. There were a myriad of challenges to overcome. Rising expectations of customer experience, new standards of convenience, weak in-store technology, a sprawling menu, a PR-bruised brand and questionable ingredients to name but a few.
McDonald’s are the original fast-food innovators; creating a level of standardisation that is quite frankly, remarkable. Buy a Big Mac in Beijing and it’ll taste the same as in Stratford-Upon Avon.
So when you’ve optimised product delivery, supply chain and flavour experience to such an incredible degree — how do you increase bottom line growth? It’s not going to come from making the Big Mac cheaper to produce — you’ve already turned those stones over (multiple times).
The answer of course, is to drive purchase frequency and increase margins through new products.
Numerous studies have shown that no matter what options are available, people tend to stick with the default options and choices they’ve made habitually. This is even more true when someone faces a broad selection of choices. We try to mitigate the risk of buyers remorse by sticking with the choices we know are ‘safe’.
McDonald’s has a uniquely pervasive presence in modern life with many of us having developed a pattern of ordering behaviour over the course of our lives (from Happy Meals to hangover cures). This creates a unique, and less cited, challenge for McDonald’s’ reinvention: how do you break people out of the default buying behaviours they’ve developed over decades?
In its simplest sense, the new format is designed to improve customer experience, which will in turn drive frequency and a shift in buying behaviour (for some) towards higher margin items. The most important shift in buying patterns is to drive reappraisal of the Signature range to make sure they maximise potential spend from those customers who can afford, and want, a more premium experience.

Answer:
The answer is: B) It is a type of globalization that lies between total isolation and total globalization.
Explanation:
Semi-globalization is a term that tries to explain how the world is becoming one single market (globalization) but at the same time barriers still exist and are very significant in different markets.
A few years ago this term was used to describe situations that arouse in emerging markets, where governments were trying to protect internal markets while trying to export their goods to developed countries.
Now it has become more common for developed countries to try to set entry barriers for foreign products but at the same time expect other nations to receive their products freely. E.g. Trump's trade war with China or the Brexit.
