Honduras is one of the world’s leading exporters of bananas each year. which of the following factors is not an incentive for honduras to export bananas?
a. honduras has few resources it can devote toward growing bananas.
b. honduras’ climate the country grow bananas faster than other countries.
c. honduras’ economy specializes in growing bananas.
d. honduras can grow bananas more cheaply than many other countries can.

The correct answer is A.

Option B-D mention factors which can closely related to the development, by Honduras, of a comparative advantage in the production of bananas: better natural conditions, cheaper production costs, specialization on producing bananas, etc .

A comparative advantage is defined as the superiority that a country or producer enjoys,through which it becomes the most efficient and he is able to elaborate the product with the lowest opportunity cost, and obtain a larger amount of output given the same endownment of resources. Countries or companies specialize on producing the goods or services where they have acquired a comparative advantage.

On the other hand, option A refers to a circumstance that would prevent a country from acquiring a competitive advantage, as it lacks the necessary resources to produce bananas and this would decrease cost-efficiency in production.

question - in 1827, john walker, a druggist in a small english town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. the druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. it is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. although walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. it could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. in a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. the match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. it would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. this was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar. according the paragraph what was the benefit of the new phosphorus match? it burst into flame when rubbed on sandpaper. it was made by mixing chemicals. it could be ignited on any dry surface. it threw fire in all directions.

answer - matches required natural chemicals
