    Answer: Option (d) is correct.

    Explanation:

    A country has a comparative advantage in producing a commodity if the opportunity cost of producing that commodity in terms of other commodity is lower in that country as compared to the other country.

    A country has an absolute advantage in producing a commodity if less resources are required to produce a unit of a commodity as compared to the other country.

    Therefore, Colombia has an absolute advantage in producing coffee.
