The major reason why bartering is difficult is that "Businesses are given incentives to specialize in only good or service." This highlights the challenge of finding a mutual agreement between parties with differing needs and the limitations that arise when trading goods or services directly, as it requires a double coincidence of wants. In contrast, the other options do not accurately reflect the primary challenges associated with bartering.
