Wait, is this question asking about international trade theories or just a story about a product? I'm so confused, but I'll say D) Theory of Comparative Advantage.

Haha, this sounds like the plot of every business textbook ever written. I'll take a wild guess and say A) International product life cycle theory.

B) Porter's cluster theory is my guess. The local production leading to international competition has that cluster dynamic.

This is a tricky one, but I'm going to go with C) Sheffi's logistics cluster theory. The stages sound like they could be about the development of a logistics hub.

I see where you're coming from, Isaac, but I think A) International product life cycle theory fits better with the stages described.

D) Theory of Comparative Advantage seems like the best fit to me. The product moving from domestic to international production aligns with that theory.
