A rise in the price of Jam will cause a contraction in demand of jam and an increase in demand for honey (substitutes) ... Therefore, this increase in demand will raise the price of Honey...
As honey and beeswax are in joint supply, a rise in price of jam will cause an extension in supply...
This extension in supply will also increase the supply of beeswax causing the price of beeswax to fall...
Clear? :)

i didnt understand this question the answer is B

In order to protect a country's economy against foreign imports, governments can use tarrifs, quotas and embargos as protectionism tools. Embargo is a complete ban on import sp answer has to be either B or C.

Tarrif's are import taxes such as duties. The higher the tarriff, the more protected the economy will be. Since question is about lowering down protectionism C cannot be the answer.

Quota is an import limit on physical quantity of the imported product. Low quota means you can import lesser quantity. Higher quota means you can import more quantity. This means that higher quota makes you less protected. Therefore answer is B.
