Explanation

The passage explicitly states: "liberalisation of trade and investment has facilitated globalisation by removing barriers to trade and investment." Options A and D describe protectionism (the opposite), and B (banning foreign companies) is an extreme restriction. The examiner expects you to recall that liberalisation = removal of trade/investment restrictions.
