Correct Answer: 3


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Explanation : "Those" is a demonstrative pronoun used for distant objects, and "these" is used for comparatively closer objects. The pronoun "these" is appropriate here because it refers back to the plural noun "rules". Since "rules" is plural, the pronoun used to refer to it should also be plural; hence, "these" is the correct choice.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "It was given a large remit to oversee the rules for world trade, along with the power to punish countries violating these rules."
