The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

Absolute advantage can be defined as the ability to produce a commodity using comparatively fewer inputs than others.

Comparative advantage, on the other hand, refers to the ability to produce a commodity at a relatively lower opportunity cost than others.

A country is said to be having an absolute advantage in the production of a commodity if can produce the same level of output using fewer resources or time.
