C. theory of absolute advantage

D. theory of comparative advantage

The correct answer is A. product life-cycle theory.

Explanation:

In Economics, there is a theory that explains the stages a product goes through with respect to its production and sales, known as the Theory of the life cycle of a product. It was defined by the American economist Raymond Vernon who assured that every product or service undergoes a similar evolution in the market. It also identifies 4 stages in that evolution:

  1. Introduction
  2. Increase
  3. Maturity
  4. Slope

This theory describes that evolution from the launch of the product to its final decline and disappearance. It may happen, however, that it is a matter of lengthening the life cycle of your product through different strategies: relaunching, updating, prolonging the maturity phase or even maintaining the commercialization of the product at that stage of decline even though demand is low.
