Which of the following geographic features would most likely have a negative impact on the trade of a country?

b. irregular coastline
c. plains
d. mountains

1 answer

d. mountains

Mountains can create natural barriers that hinder transportation and trade routes, making it more difficult for countries to engage in trade with one another. In contrast, rivers and plains generally facilitate trade, while an irregular coastline can create challenges but might also provide natural harbors that can be beneficial.
