Comparative advantage is determined by who has the lower opportunity cost in producing a good. Without the specific numbers from the table, we can't calculate the exact opportunity costs, but the question implies that Steve has a comparative advantage in growing potatoes, meaning he can produce potatoes at a lower opportunity cost compared to tomatoes or compared to Huey's production of either good.
