Question 22 • EA Academy Civics 9

What is the definition of opportunity cost?

Answer
A
how much your decision will cost you financially
B
the feeling you have when you have trouble deciding
C
your next step when you decide to do something
D
what you give up when you decide to do something else

Explanation

Opportunity cost is the value of the next-best alternative you give up when you make a choice. It is not just the money spent or the feeling of indecision; it is what you sacrifice by choosing something else. Therefore, “what you give up when you decide to do something else” is correct.
