Answer:
A. the double coincidence of wants problem.
Explanation:
Trade by barter involves the exchange of goods and services for goods and services without the use of money as a medium of exchange. In barter system, there is what we call double coincidence of wants. This is the economic situation whereby both parties holds what the other wants to buy, so they exchange the goods directly. Here, both parties agrees to buy and sell each other commodities. However, if one of the party is not interested in what the other party is offering, it causes a disruption in the trade. This disruption refers to a drawback in the system like the example described in the question.
Here, Andy couldn't make a deal with Danny even tho he wants what Danny is offering. This is because what Danny isn't interested in what Andy is offering. Thus, the double coincidence of want and barter trade can't occur between the two parties.

Answer:
(A) Shawn has a comparative advantage in the production of donuts.
Explanation:
Shawn renounce to less goods than Sue when producing donuts.
This meas, Shawn has a comparative advantage in the production of donuts as their cost from the economic point of view are lower.
This do not imply that Sue cannot outproduce Shawn, it means it cost her more than Shawn
For example, if Sue produce 10 Donuts, but to produce donuts resing to produce 20 of other goods, each donut has an opportunity cost of 2
While Shawn can produce 8 donuts and resing to produce 8 of other goods:
each donut has an opportunity cost of 1
Therefore, is better for the overall economy to Shawn produce donuts and trade with Sue for the other good.
