Hi Simplyjat

correct form should be "From X to Y and Z" but i made the silly mistake of choosing B instead of A...

Actually, I think the phrase is still simply "From X to Y"

but you have to see X as "blah blah blah in some countries" and Y as "blah blah blah in others"

and statement Y has two conditions in it (shortage of regulations and lack of info)

I did not answer this correctly at first but think this is right now.
