C) Basova had the higher productivity while Andovia had the higher real GDP per person.

Explanation:

real GDP per capita: Aldovia's real GDP per capita is higher

Basova: $30,000,000 / 10,000 people = $3,000 per capita Aldovia: $38,000,000 / 12,000 people = $3,167 per capita

worker productivity: Basova's worker productivity is higher

Basova: $30,000,000 / 6,000 workers = $5,000 per worker Aldovia: $38,000,000 / 8,000 workers = $4,750 per worker
