The correct answer is letter "C": Globalization results in companies "exporting jobs" to low-wage nations.

Explanation:

Globalization has brought advantages and disadvantages. Outsourcing - the act of hiring abroad a third party company to perform production as in the hiring country to reduce costs - is a strategy that can benefit industries but nor employees. By outsourcing, a great number of job opportunities are being provided to foreign workers who might be less skilled than domestic employees but whose wages are lower.
