Model Answer

Answer: B

Containerisation led to a huge reduction in port handling costs and increased the speed with which exports can reach markets, thus facilitating globalisation.

Source: Factors that have enabled Globalisation, Chapter 4

Explanation

The passage explicitly states: "Containers have led to huge reduction in port handling costs and increased the speed with which exports can reach markets." Option B mirrors this directly. The question stem's options A–D are distractors; only B matches the textbook explanation. Never confuse containerisation (a transport technology) with IT/communication technology — a common exam mistake.
