    C. Mark has a comparative advantage in writing TV commercials and Krystal has a comparative advantage in writing poems.

    Explanation:

    Mark opportunity cost for TV comm: 12/4 = 3

    Krystal opportunity cost for TV comm: 8/2 = 4

    It has comparative advantage doing TV comm as it renounce to less poems

    Mark opportunity cost for poems: 4/12 = 1/3
