Answer:

B) Prices decrease as a result of increased production efficiencies.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a producer has absolute advantage, it can produce more output with less inputs that competitors. In other words, it needs less capital, labor and land to produce the same amount of goods and services. This producer is thus, very efficient, and as it is producing more output, this output becomes cheaper. Consumer benefit from cheaper prices and their purchasing power increases.
