Answer: A

Explanation: country x has ideal land conditions for farming so it would be better for growing wheat. Country y has a strong technology industry making it better for producing smart phones and it is also small and densely populated meaning it would be hard to grow wheat. So if the two countries trade they could both gain something and benefit.
