Answer:

C. foreign producers sell a product at a price below the cost of production.

Explanation:

Dumping is associated with international trade. It happens when a country or a company exports huge volumes of a product at a price lower then it sells in the domestic market. In other word, consumers in foreign markets can purchase the item at a lower price than consumers in the domestic market.

Companies wishing to penetrate international markets use the dumping technique. They flood the foreign market with unfairly priced products to gain a considerable market share. Dumping is legal in international trade. Countries impose tariffs, quotas, and embargo's to restrict imports and protect local manufacturers from dumping.
