Answer: D

Explanation:

GHI, Inc. would benefit most from compliance with the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) (Option D). This initiative helps reduce the administrative burden of cargo inspections by establishing security guidelines and facilitating faster customs processing for participating companies. By aligning with C-TPAT, GHI can ensure smoother import procedures, even when dealing with countries outside of specific trading blocs.
