To analyze the implications of Afghanistan raising its aircraft productivity to 5 units per day, we need to consider the concepts of comparative advantage and the potential for mutually beneficial trade.
1. **Afghanistan would continue to import fighter aircraft from the US**: If Afghanistan can produce aircraft more efficiently, it may not need to import them, making this statement likely incorrect.
2. **Afghanistan should switch from the export of carpets to the export of aircraft**: If Afghanistan's productivity in aircraft production increases, it may become more advantageous for Afghanistan to focus on aircraft production instead of carpet production, especially if it can produce aircraft more efficiently than carpets.
3. **Mutually beneficial trade would no longer be possible**: This statement seems incorrect because increased productivity can enhance trade opportunities rather than eliminate them.
4. **The US would retain its comparative advantage in carpet manufacture**: This statement could be true if the US is still relatively more efficient at manufacturing carpets compared to Afghanistan, implying that even with improved productivity in aircraft, the US might still maintain its comparative advantage in carpet production.
Given these considerations, the most accurate option would be:
**Afghanistan should switch from the export of carpets to the export of aircraft.**
However, it is important to know the comparative productivity of both countries in aircraft and carpet production to confirm this fully.
