Yes, Agree, D is the Absolute answer.

It should be option D.

I think it should be D.
Priyanshi said:   5 years ago
It should be D. A country can CHOOSE to be dependent on other countries as it may not always be economical to produce all the goods itself. (They may import oil because the cost of domestic production is higher, but this doesn't mean it's impossible).

As the reason is not mentioned in the statement it can be any of the reasons so the right option must be C.

Here, the statement says "absolutely self-dependent", that means to some extent countries still depend on other countries for their needs and this links with conclusion I. So, option A is correct.
