Solution

The correct option is D Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN)
The trade bloc and regional grouping in the above given question are the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN). It consists of Brunei, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Philippines, Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia. The overlapping claims of China and ASEAN members over the South-China Sea archipelagos have led to several maritime disputes. The rising economic influence and military might of China has gradually reduced this group's influence in East Asia.
