Haha, C is a classic trap answer. 'Lax company law' might mean less red tape, but it could also mean less protection for foreign businesses. B is the way to go.

I think both factors are important in assessing political risk, along with the lax company law in the host country.

That's true, having to rely on local partners can make the subsidiary vulnerable to political changes.

But what about the requirement for local partners to operate? That could also indicate high political risk.

D seems like an odd choice. Being far from the home country doesn't necessarily mean higher political risk. I'd go with B as well.

I think the answer is B. Requiring local partners indicates the government wants to maintain control and influence over foreign operations, which can increase political risk.
