Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

The law of comparative advantage states that a country is producing and exporting a good in which it has a comparative advantage and importing a good in which it has a comparative disadvantage.

Therefore, this will make the countries more specialized and there is an exchange of goods among the trading nations.

Each country is then specialized in the production of a good in which it has a comparative advantage and hence, the joint output of the trading nations increases.
