Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
| Trade Restriction | Working |

| Quota | It refers to a legal limit on the quantum of goods that can be imported. By putting quotas government creates artificial scarcity of the product which increases price and domestic producers get an incentive to produce more. |
| Standards | These are the defined laws that a country uses by establishing safety and health standards for imported goods to discourage imports. |
