Answer:

B. It is too difficult to calculate prices for common housework.

Step-by-step explanation:

Household production is a significant part of the development of all countries, but housework is not acknowledged when calculating the products and services that contribute to the gross domestic product. Therefore, it is difficult to quantify the conceptual or subjective advantages of housework, numerous attempts have been made to add importance to economically efficient household activities.
