Correct answer: (c) EU
Explanation
- A
ASEAN
(a) ASEAN. ASEAN has its own economic community project, not the EU’s Digital Single Market Strategy. Not the key.
- B
BRICS
(b) BRICS. BRICS has no Digital Single Market Strategy. Not the key.
- C
EU
(c) EU. The Digital Single Market Strategy is a European Commission programme to tear down digital barriers across member States (e-commerce, copyright, telecoms, data). This is the official key.
- D
G20
(d) G20. The G20 discusses the digital economy but did not author this named EU strategy. Not the key.
Summary. Official key is (c) EU. In 2015 the European Commission launched a Digital Single Market Strategy so goods, services and data could move online as freely as in the physical single market. Roaming, geo-blocking, copyright and platform rules were part of that package. ASEAN, BRICS and G20 are other groupings with digital talk, not the owners of this title. GDPR is a neighbouring EU data law, not the DSM label itself.
