The negotiator concludes that it’s wrong to adopt trade policies that hurt the growth in prosperity of any other country because doing so would take away from the political freedom that prosperity tends to bring.

The negotiator describes a negative-sounding effect of hindering another country’s prosperity—doing so impedes the growth of that country’s inhabitants’ political freedom. However, this alone isn’t enough to prove that no country should ever adopt trade policies with this effect.

To justify the negotiator’s conclusion, we’re looking for a principle that confirms that no policy should be adopted if that policy will hinder the growth of another population’s political freedom.

Leads to wrong conclusion. The negotiator argues that prosperity-hindering trade policies should not be adopted, not that prosperity-encouraging policies should be.

Irrelevant. Whether prosperity and freedom can contribute to the well-being of a people or not, (B) still doesn’t tell us why adopting prosperity-hindering trade policies is wrong.

Irrelevant. It doesn’t matter why countries seek prosperity. The support establishes that hindering the growth of prosperity hinders the growth of political freedom. What the support doesn’t tell us is why this means adopting trade policies that hinder that growth is wrong.

The support establishes that trade policies that hinder the growth of a country’s prosperity would likewise hinder the growth of its political freedom, so (D) confirms that it would be wrong for a country to adopt those policies.

Irrelevant. The conclusion is that it’s wrong to adopt policies that hinder the growth of another country’s prosperity. Knowing that it’s wrong for a nation to diminish its own people’s prosperity doesn’t justify this.
