During a stormy meeting of wearable technology firms, several company presidents said that without tariff cushions, many of them would go broke.

 A) increased import quotas.
  B) increased import tariffs.
  C) Congress enact an export embargo.
  D) an increase in the value of the US dollar.
  E) increased taxes on domestic technology firms.

  C) prices on foreign-made sneakers to increase.
