SOLUTION

Comparative advantage is an economic principle that describes the ability of a country or individual to produce a certain good or service at a lower opportunity cost than another country or individual. In other words, a country or individual has a comparative advantage in producing a good or service if they can produce it at a lower cost (in terms of other goods or services that could be produced) than any other country or individual. This concept is used to explain why it is mutually beneficial for countries to trade with each other, even if one country is more efficient at producing all goods than the other.
