The US can make 6 units of wheat in 1 hour of labour.
And the 1 hour cost 6$.
So 1 wheat unit cost=cost of 1 hour labour/ number of units in 1 hour of labour=6/6=1.
Because labour cost is fixed at 6$,so at competitive equilibrium p=MC,so MC of 1 wheat is $1.
So p=MC=$1.
And same for clothes,.US can make 3 unit of clothes in 1 hour of labour
1clothes unit cost or MC of clothes=6/3=2$
P=MC=2$
So option A is correct
