Tanek's production possibilities frontier is based on 80 hours of work because if it takes 0.2 hour to produce each taco, he can produce 5 tacos in an hour (1 / 0.2 = 5). If he works 40 hours, he can produce 200 tacos (40 hours * 5 tacos/hour). The question implies a larger scale, and since 80 hours is the only option that is a multiple of 40 and fits the context of increasing the production scale, it is the correct choice.
