C. Mexico as a whole is better off, since the tariff increases employment and production in the domestic chocolate industry

Explanation:

A Tariff is a tax imposed by the government on goods and services imported from other countries thereby increasing the price and making import less desirable or at least less competitive against domestic goods and services. With the understanding of this definition, the government imposing tariff on importation of chocolate will definitely improve the economics of producing it locally and at the long run increase employment rate.
