Let's look at the meaning of the four terms:
opportunity cost - this is a cost of an option not chosen, upon the choise of some option.

surplus - this is a situation where more goods are offered than are needed

shortage - this is a situation where less goods are offered than are needed

price fixing - this is an agreement between competitors to not lower a prize for a certain product.

So the correct answer is surplus!
