    The statement that is accurate with regard to the opportunity cost of production is that Alpha's opportunity cost of producing 1 unit of coffee is 8 units of nuts.

    Explanation:

    The opportunity cost bore by Beta is the least as the production that she is able to do of both the commodities is equal, i. e. 6 units of cashew nuts for 6 units of coffee. On the other hand, when Alpha chooses to produce 1 unit of coffee, she loses the opportunity to produce 8 units of cashew nuts, i. e., she pays an opportunity cost of 8 units of cashew nuts in order to produce 1 unit of coffee.
