Solution

The correct answer is C. Countries trade for goods produced by countries that have a comparative advantage. This is because comparative advantage allows countries to specialize in producing goods that they can make more efficiently (at a lower opportunity cost) than other countries. By trading these goods, countries can enjoy a wider variety of products than they could produce on their own.
