What primarily determines the benefits a country gains from engaging in international trade?

The principle of labor value theoryThe extent to which the autarky price deviates from the global terms of tradeThe assumption that a nation inevitably suffers losses from tradeEvery statement mentioned above

Explanation

The advantages a country obtains from international trade depend largely on the difference between its autarky price (the price without trade) and the prevailing international terms of trade. This gap indicates how much better off the country is by participating in trade. The labor theory of value and the idea that a country must lose from trade are not accurate explanations of trade gains.
