An organization where member countries give up some power to a higher authority

• A. Sovereignty
• B. Supply Chain
• C. Tariff
• D. Supernational / Supranational Organization

Answer: (D)

Giving up some power to a higher authority describes a supranational arrangement, where member countries delegate certain decisions to an overarching body that can bind them in those areas. In this setup, nations retain sovereignty in many matters, but they also accept rules and decisions from the higher authority that apply across all members. That’s why this option fits best: it captures the idea of shared governance beyond individual states.

Sovereignty, by contrast, means a country acts independently and retains full control over its laws and policies without being bound by a higher, supra-national decision-maker. The other terms aren’t about shared political authority either: a supply chain is a business network for producing and delivering goods, and a tariff is a tax on trade.
