Which term means countries trading goods, services, and money more freely, leading to increased economic integration?

• A. Globalization
• B. Sweatshops
• C. Hazardous Work
• D. Economic Globalization

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is economic integration across borders through freer trade and investment. Economic globalization specifically describes how countries trade goods and services and move money more freely, which reduces barriers and links economies more closely together. This includes things like lower tariffs, open investment rules, and cross-border financial flows that create a single, interconnected global economy.

Sweatshops and hazardous work point to labor conditions, not the broader economic integration process. Globalization, while related, is a broader term that covers cultural, political, and social connections as well as economic ties; the question emphasizes the economic aspect of trading and financial movement, so the precise term is economic globalization.
