The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and its successor, the World Trade Organization (WTO), have led to reductions in trade barriers through multilateral negotiations.

A and B are not correct as they suggest the termination of import/export subsidies and tariffs while there is no proof that it's a direct result of GATT or WTO. C is also incorrect as it suggests encouragement of beggar-thy-neighbor policies, which is contrary to the main objective of GATT and WTO.
