Russell Hooper · Answer 1

A) The WTO attempts to minimize barriers to trade.

C) The WTO assesses complaints of unfair trading from member countries.

Explanation:

Member countries of the WTO get together to negotiate the reduction of trade barriers, including import quotas and tariffs. WTO negotiations are called rounds, and they usually last a couple of years.

The WTO also resolves international trade disputes. Any member country can file a complaint against another member country, and the WTO will rule who is right and what measures can be taken.
