The correct option is: Shipping low-yield crops great distances

Imagine a very large town in the center of a uniformly fertile plain; an isotropic space. Beyond the fertile space extends a desert that isolates the town from the rest of the world. There are no other populations. The only market buys all the agricultural production of the region, and is transported by the shortest route (a straight line).

In these conditions all men behave similarly in economic matters, that is, they have the same needs and abilities, produce equally and have a total knowledge of space and rationally conducts to achieve maximum performance, is the economic man. The differences in the cost of transport are taken into account depending on the distance, the quantity and the perishability of the merchandise.
