The difference is that "Net production is always less than gross production".

Option (b);

EXPLANATION:  

Net production is the rate at which all plants, algae, bacteria produce net chemical energy in the useful ecosystem. The formula statement is that       Net Production = Gross Production - Respiration by plants.

Whereas, Gross production is the total sum of energy that is produced by the producer. It is the energy in that area in a given amount of time. Gross production doesn't include the energy that is lost in respiration. Thus the production value is less than gross production.

what is the aerea shown

explanation:

you did not attach the discourse, but i assume it to be the discourse on the origin and basis of inequality among men (the original titile in french is: "discours sur l'origine et les fondements de l'inégalité parmi les hommes"), also know as "second discourse". in this discourse, jean-jacques rousseau emphasizes that private property is the basis of all inequalities.

therefore, what enabled the old regime to maintain as long as it did was private property.
