Answer:

a comparative; opportunity

Step-by-step explanation:

Comparative advantage is when a country is able to produce a product at a lower opportunity cost than others and the opportunity cost is the cost of not choosing the next best alternative available.

When a country specializes in the product where it has a comparative advantage which means that it can produce it more efficiently, the cost of not taking other alternative decreases.
