Which of the following best completes the passage below?

Economic sanctions that forbid trade with countries with dictatorial governments assume that the dictator will change policies unacceptable to the imposing nation when the country's citizens lose sufficient access to necessities such as food, water, and clothing. This approach occasionally proves unsuccessful, however, especially when..........

citizens of the country are accustomed to being poor
the dictator has ideological reasons for maintaining national policy
the country imposing the sanctions relies on exports from the subject country
the dictator is not moved by the suffering of his people
citizens of the country do not understand the leader's policies

IMO answer d. It seems to be the most to the point - in such a situation nothing will be changed by the sanctions. Other choices are not directly linked to the statement.

C is not suitable as it is not mentioning anything about the DICTATOR, as he is directly need to be linked with the statement

I dont understand the question properly ..it says economic sactions that FORBID TRADE WITH DICTORIAL GOVTS
. These sanctions forbid trade because they believe that these dictoral govts change the policies UNACCEPTABLE when the country's (which trade with dict govt) customer suffer .
If the answer choice C is right , then it means that the change mentioned in the question is a positive change ( i.e the dictorial govt is moved by the people's suffering ) However the dictorial govt changes the policies in a way that is unacceptable and that is why these economic sactions forbid trade with the dic govts . In that case how can D be correct ? C is fine acc to my understanding .

Experts ,can someone shed light to this one ?

Thanks
