Answer:

Mike's opportunity cost of seeing a movie is 2) Attend a ball game.

Step-by-step explanation:

Opportunity cost refers to the immediate loss when an option is chosen. Or what should have been chosen in it's place. In this case, the second best option(attending a ball game) is the opportunity cost.
