Answer:

b,c,d

Explanation:

A country has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other countries

The opportunity cost of producing a computer for Mexico= 4/10 = 0.4

for Mexico to have a comparative advantage in the production of computers, its opportunity cost for producing computers has to be lower.

we would try each of the options to know which would yield the higher opportunity cost for US

3 / 8 = 0.375

3 / 5 = 0,6

3/2 = 1.5

3 / 6 = 0.5

5, 2 AND 6 would give Mexico the comparative advantage
