Answer:

The answer to this question is  (c) Labour, Labour intensive

In the 2-factor, 2-good Heckscher-Ohlin model, the country with a relative abundance of labour will have a production possibility frontier that is biased toward production of the labour intensive good

Explanation:

The Heckscher-Ohlin model is an economic theory that proposes that countries export what they can most efficiently and plentifully produce.  

The model emphasizes the export of goods requiring factors of production that a country has in abundance. It also emphasizes the import of goods that a nation cannot produce as efficiently. It takes the position that countries should ideally export materials and resources of which they have an excess, while proportionately importing those resources they need.

Therefore in regard to the question above,

In the 2-factor, 2-good Heckscher-Ohlin model, the country with a relative abundance of labour will have a production possibility frontier that is biased toward production of the labour intensive good  

Hence the answer is the third option, Labour, Labour intensive
