Country gamma has the comparative advantage in the production of steel.

Step-by-step explanation:

The opportunity cost is defined as what you stop perceiving for making a decision or making a choice.

Country Gamma has to stop perceiving 10 tons of steel to produce a computer. which means that they have to generate more steel than Country Beta, which only requires 6 tons per computer.
