The second alternative is correct (B).

GDP is a form used by economists to measure the final wealth produced by a country in a given period of time, usually one year.

This is a way of comparing the evolution of the country to the time, that is, whether the country has become rich or impoverished. In addition, there is the concept of GDP per capita, which calculates the proportionate wealth of the country for each citizen.
