Increase in the number of free trade agreements
B
Increase in the flow of direct foreign investment
C
Increase in the volume of trade flows
D
increase in tariffs
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The most common barrier to trade is a tariff–a tax on imports. Tariffs raise the price of imported goods relative to domestic goods (good produced at home). Another common barrier to trade is a government subsidy to a particular domestic industry. Subsidies make those goods cheaper to produce than in foreign markets.

Detailed explanation-2: -Theoretically, tariffs can cause inflation. Tariffs increase the price of goods and services in domestic markets by applying a tax on imported goods that is paid by the domestic importer. To cover the increased costs, the domestic importer then charges higher prices for the goods and services.
