Explanation:

• Option A: Trade gives power to resource - exporting countries, not those needing resources, so A is wrong.
• Option B: Trade's goal isn't to widen rich - poor imbalances; it can promote development, so B is wrong.
• Option C: Trade allows countries to exchange minerals/resources, leading to more equal distribution as regions with surplus can trade with those in need, so C is correct.
• Option D: Trade actually facilitates resource redistribution, not block it, so D is wrong.

Answer:

C. Trade equalizes the resources found in the earth's crust by allowing for greater distribution.
