The statement that best compares the costs and benefits of getting a credit card is:

**b A credit card allows people to get an item without waiting, but makes people pay extra interest.**

This statement clearly highlights a key benefit of credit cards (the ability to make purchases immediately) alongside a significant cost (the potential for incurring extra interest if the balance is not paid off in full).
