Answer:

The correct answer is (C)

Step-by-step explanation:

Negative externalities occur when an individual or firm making a choice negatively affect other parties. A driver who recklessly drives a car on a busy highway is a negative externality because the amusement of the driver is negatively affecting other people. A negative externality arises when the benefit of a decision is less than the negative outcomes of that decision.
