Answer:

d. Dani must decide between going to Florida or Brazil for spring break

Step-by-step explanation:

Opportunity cost is the cost of the activity given up in order to carry out another activity. It looks at the tradeoffs involved in making decisions.

Conversely, if Dani travels to Brazil, his opportunity cost is the trip to Florida he forgoed.
