In the given question, for Antigua, it takes 12 minutes to make 1 towel and 20 minutes to make 1 umbrella
This means, suppose the countries have a total of 1 hour, Antigua can make either 5 towels or 3 umbrellas

Similarly for Barbuda, in 1 hour it can make 4 towels or 6 umbrellas
Or, 1 towel = 1.5 umbrella and 1 umbrella = 0.67 towels
Since Antigua has lower opportunity cost for towel production, it has a comparative advantage in production of towels
Thus correct option is A
Antigua has a comparative advantage in the production of towels and Barbuda has a comparative advantage...
