Solution

This is an example of E) a trade war.

A trade war is a situation where one country raises tariffs on another country's goods, and the other country responds by raising tariffs on the first country's goods. In this case, when the U.S. placed tariffs on French wine, France responded by placing high tariffs on U.S. chickens. This tit-for-tat escalation is characteristic of a trade war.
