Which statement correctly explains who sells comic books at a lower unit rate?

A
Benny sells comic books at a lower unit rate because $6.00 is less than $7.00.
B
Benny sells comic books at a lower unit rate because 8÷6=1.33 is less than 10÷7=1.43.
C
Kiara sells comic books at a lower rate because Benny’s 8 comic books would sell for less than $6.00 if he sold them at the same rate as Kiara.
