Answer:
This ones slightly tough, but I believe the answer is D.
Explanation:
The word economic means in terms of capital and the market.
The word absolute means total, which in this case, could mean a monopoly.
The word advantage means above others, more prosperous.
Summed up, what I got from the question's instructions was they said who has more of a monopoly on something economic and why.
With that said, China producing more clothing than the United States shows they have a bigger advantage economically over America.
Why would it not be population, though? Great question, I wouldn't go with a population change because a higher population could mean higher costs for the country anyway, which they do not want.
