Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: B

The principle of comparative cost states that; 
international trade takes place between two countries when the ratios of comparative cost of producing goods differ, and each country would specialise in producing that commodity in which it has a comparative advantage.

Comparative cost advantage is when a country produces a good or service for a lower opportunity cost than other countries.
