D. A Free trade area

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that this is an example of a free trade area. This refers to a region in which a trade block is in effect but whose member countries have signed a free trade agreement that allows them to reduce or completely get rid of trade barriers in order to increase trading of goods and services between them.
