Answer:

wheat, wheat

Step-by-step explanation:

In the field of economics, absolute advantage may be defined as the ability of a producer to produce a particular goods or services at large amount or quantity at the same price or the same quantity at a very low price as compared to other producers. It means producing goods efficiently.

Whereas a comparative advantage of a product is defined as the ability of a producer to produce more goods and and consumes less of it at a lower opportunity cost when compared to its competitors.

Thus in the context, Country A has both an absolute advantage as well as comparative advantage in production of wheat.
