Answer: alternative D

Explanation: Comparative advantage consists in producing more goods spending less than your trade partners, lowering the prices and making more profit out of it. In situation D, we see a higher production in Country A compared to Country B, both being under the same conditions. Thus, it's easy to see that Country A has an advantage when trading in the international market.
