Answer 1

The correct option is A No. As country Y is not a member of the WTO, it will not try to resolve the trade dispute.

The WTO tries to solve trade disputes and conflicts between member nations to ensure fair trade. It has a separate department for resolving disputes between member countries. It helps these countries find solutions through consultation with each other.
