Answer

Brief Explanations:

When there are high taxes (tariffs) on imports, it makes imported goods more expensive. Consumers are then more likely to buy domestic (U.S. - made) goods as they are relatively cheaper compared to the now - pricier imported goods. Low taxes on imports would make them cheaper (not the goal here). High taxes don't decrease the cost of imported goods (they increase it). And high taxes on imports don't directly decrease the cost of manufactured goods (they affect the price of imports).

Answer:

A. high taxes on imports to increase the cost of imported goods
