    Correct answer is "C". An opportunity cost is the the loss of the next best alternative when one alternative is chose. If two choices are mutually exclusive (you can have one but not the other), then choosing one means the loss of the other activity is the opportunity cost. Opportunity cost is not merely the money or financial cost difference between two options (choice b) but also covers the lost time (option d) or pleasure (option a) as another option may provide more of either (therefore having increased utility).
