    Option (b) is correct.

    Explanation:

    According to the law of comparative advantage, a country has a comparative advantage in producing a commodity if the opportunity cost of producing that commodity is lower than the other country.

    Raven can produce 6 baseballs per hour or 4 golf balls per hour:

    Opportunity cost of producing a baseball = 4 : 6

    = 0.67 golf balls

    Opportunity cost of producing a golf ball = 6 : 4

    = 1.5 baseballs

    Drew can produce 3 baseballs per hour or 1 golf ball per hour:

    Opportunity cost of producing a baseball = 1 : 3

    = 0.33 golf balls

    Opportunity cost of producing a golf ball = 3 : 1

    = 3 baseballs

    Therefore,

    Raven has a comparative advantage in producing golf balls and Drew has a comparative advantage in producing baseballs.
