  Themes don’t export/import. Only content does. If your other site is also on WordPress.com you need to activate that theme there. If your other site is hosted elsewhere and using the WordPress.org software then you need to download the link found when you scroll to the very bottom of https://wordpress.com/theme/sophisticated-business

  @stevecummins2019, it is not possible to export the theme of a site hosted on WordPress.com, nor to do a full database download of a WordPress.com site. Please do not provide answers in this forum that only apply to sites using the open source WordPress software found on WordPress.org.
