    D

    Explanation:

    Agland produces 100 units of organic grain and Zenland produces 50 units of organic grains; their combine total = 150 grains

    Agland produces 20 units of incense while Zenland produces nothin; their combine total = 20 incense

    if each country specialize in producing the good in which they have comparative advantage then

    Agland produce (10 * 20) organic grains which 200 organic grain with Zenland producing nothing; their combine total will 200 grains

    Zenland doing the same by producing (10 * 15) incense which will equal 150 incense and Agland produce nothing their combine total is 150 incense

    200 - 150 for grains = 50 units of grains

    150 - 20 for incense = 130 units of incense
