The Internet has made going global easier than it has ever been, but the promise of "borderless commerce" remains restrained because of the a. cultural variations of the people visiting a website. b. old brick-and-mortar rules, regulations, and habits. c. system of floating exchange rates. d. demographic makeup of various people accessing a website.

The correct option is B: Old brick-and-mortar rules, regulations, and habits

Explanation:

Globalization has been made possible because of the internet. However, the promise of what is considered "borderless commerce" is limited due to the old brick and mortar rules, regulations, and habits. Brick and mortar is considered the traditional businesses offering products and services to customer in a rented or owned store and requires face-to-face business. Hence globalization via the internet is limited because companies have to sort out their building and stores, follow every law and regulation to opening offices and other habits practiced by these brick-and-mortar businesses.
