①Ans.
B. reducing the personal allowance of the salaries tax

whose tax payment = standard tax rate*gross income

C. raising the profits tax rate

country B 2 man-hour 4 man-hours

OC---1 toy--------1 watch
A---1/3watch------3(=3/1) toys
B---1/2watch------2(=4/2) toys

For A,according to law of comparative advantage,
it should produce and export toys
