C) consider quotas and tariffs of equal evil.

Most economists consider tariffs to be less harmful than quotas. Tariffs work by imposing a tax on imported goods, which can generate revenue for the local government and offer some degree of protection to domestic industries. However, tariffs can also cause consumer prices to rise and reduce competition, leading to inefficiencies in the market. Quotas, on the other hand, restrict the quantity of imports allowed into the country, which can lead to supply shortages, higher prices, and decreased competition. Overall, tariffs are generally viewed as a less restrictive trade policy than quotas.
