D
A computer company issues a recall on its tablets.

Opportunity cost is the value of the next-best option given up when making a choice. By producing fewer laptops to meet demand for tablets, the company gives up the laptops it could have made instead. That makes producing fewer laptops to meet tablet demand the best example.
