Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Sonya is inaccurate in her belief that as a U.S. citizen, she only needs to obey U.S. laws when conducting business in other countries. International business operations must comply with the laws of the countries in which they operate, including Canada and Mexico. NAFTA (now replaced by the USMCA) does facilitate trade between the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, but it does not exempt businesses from complying with local laws. The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) applies to transactions within the U.S. and does not govern international contracts or exempt businesses from foreign laws.
