Answer:

A. opportunity cost

Step-by-step explanation:

Opportunity cost is the foregone benefit as a result of not choosing a particular option. It is the forfeited advantage in the decisions making process.

Miguel forfeited visiting Europe save for a car. He sacrificed the satisfaction of visiting Europe to buy the car. The sacrificed joy is the opportunity cost.
