Option D is the way to go. The other choices are all directly related to cultural differences that impact negotiations.

Hmm, I was thinking the legal system could be a trick answer here. But you're right, the environment doesn't really fit the criteria.

I agree, the environment is more of a contextual factor rather than a cross-cultural one.

I’m confused about the financial system; it seems important, but I can't recall if it’s considered a cross-cultural factor. Maybe C is the answer?

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think environment might not be as directly related to negotiation as the others, so I’m leaning towards D.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like the legal system could also be a cross-cultural factor, so maybe B isn't the right answer.

I remember discussing how religion and culture definitely influence negotiations, so I think A is a factor.

I feel pretty confident about this one. The environment doesn't really play a direct role in the negotiation process itself, so that's gotta be the answer.
