The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

In 2017, Japan expressed concerns over India’s imposition of duties on the import of certain steel products, viewing them as a violation of World Trade Organization (WTO) agreements.
Japan, a major exporter of steel to India, claimed that these safeguard duties were unjustified and harmed its steel industry’s access to the Indian market.
Option (a) “Tea” and option (d) “Electronic goods” are unrelated to this particular WTO dispute.
Option (b) “Small ships” has no connection to the trade disagreement mentioned.
The dispute arose because India imposed these duties to protect its domestic steel manufacturers amid global oversupply and low prices, especially from East Asian markets.
If unresolved through consultations, Japan intended to escalate the matter formally within WTO’s dispute settlement mechanism.
