    Option (a) is correct.

    Explanation:

    A country has an absolute advantage in producing a commodity if it uses the fewer amount of resources in the production of a commodity as compared to the other country.

    Suppose there are two countries:

    Country A uses 10 labor hours to produce 5 widgets and on the other hand Country B uses 15 labor hours to produce 5 widgets.

    In this case, a country A has a absolute advantage in producing widgets because it uses less labor hours to produce same quantity of widgets than country B.
