This problem can be solved by finding out opprtunity cost. The Opportunity lost in terms of producing other good
For Home Country
Opportunity cost of Agriculture =Pm/ Pa= 5/3= 1.67
For Foreign Country
Opportunity Cost of Agriculture = Pm*/Pa* = 7/3= 2.33
Home has comparitive advantage in Agriculture since its opportunity cost is lower .
So answer is A
