Which of the following would not be a reason for a government to impose a quota on imports?

  1. To support strategic industry
  2. To decrease tax revenue ✓
  3. To prevent dumping
  4. Employment oppourtunity
Explanation

Governments use import quotas to protect key industries, stop dumping and keep local jobs.

Decreasing tax revenue is not a goal. Fewer imports actually mean less import duty collected, so it is a cost, not a reason.
