Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

They may also try to use their power and influence to prevent the adoption of this technology. Therefore, option B and C are correct. While option A is not impossible, it's less likely as regime actors have a vested interest in protecting their existing industries. Option D seems extreme and unlikely.
