    Option A. Two - Third of a television

    Explanation:

    Using Unitary Method,

    Here, the opportunity cost of producing 150 pounds of food in US = 100 televisions

    Similary the opportunity cost of producing 1 pound of food in US = 100 / 150 televisions = 0.66 televisions = 2/3 televisions

    So the right option is A.
