Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

Comparative advantage refers to the situation when a nation or individual is able to produce a good or service at a comparatively lower opportunity cost. The nation is said to specialize in the good or service it can produce at a lower opportunity cost.

Trade through specialization helps both the nation involved in the trade to consume more. Each nation produces more of the good it specializes in and exchanges it for the good it does not specializes in.

In this way, both of them are able to consume beyond their production possibility curves.
