    The correct answer is option C.

    Explanation:

    Absolute advantage refers to the situation when a country or individual is able to produce more than its competitors at the same cost or produce the same level of output at a lower cost.

    Here, it is given that the US can produce 12 bushels of wheat or 3 yards of textiles in a day. While India can produce 3 bushels of wheat or 12 yards of textiles in a day.

    Since the US is able to produce more relatively quantity of wheat in a day, we can say that it has an absolute advantage in the production of wheat.

    While, India can produce relatively more quantity of textiles in a day, so we can say it has an absolute advantage in the production of textiles.
