GMAT Critical Reasoning (CR) | Re: Economic considerations color every aspect of international

A,E straight away out.

I chose B initially which Says: (B) A nation that can set the terms of its dealings with othernations is certain
to be a world leader.
But, I found the wording of the statement is really strong.This is less like an assumption but seems more like a conclusion.

My answer:
(C) A nation that has the terms of its dealings with another action set by that
nation cannot be a world leader.

This perfectly fits as the answer and also matches the wording.
