The correct answers are - All foreign countries had to pay taxes equally

-Only the Chinese government could collect tariffs on trade.

-Countries with a sphere of influence should maintain free access to their ports

The idea behind it was to make China a fair market for any country that would want to trade with it, meaning that if a country for example was powerful and wanted to force China to only trade with it and not with others, they wouldn't be able to do that because the open door policy guaranteed equal trading rights.
