Answer 1

Among the options provided, mountains would most likely have a negative impact on the trade of a country. Mountains can act as natural barriers, making transportation difficult and increasing the cost and time of trade routes. This can hinder trade both domestically and with neighboring countries.

Irregular coastlines can also pose challenges for shipping and port development, but mountains are generally more significant in impeding overland trade routes.

So, the best answer is **mountains**.
