B. FALSE

Explanation:

When a country becomes an importer of a specific kind of good, the local / domestic producers are worse off because it increases competition in their local market.

If a good is imported there will be a decrease in producer surplus, and an increase in consumer surplus. Domestic producers lose from trade, and domestic consumers gain.
