Answer:

Concept & example of Opportunity Cost

Step-by-step explanation:

Opportunity Cost is the cost of next best alternative foregone, while choosing an alternative. This arises because of 'choice' problem, due to unlimited wants & limited resources - having alternative uses.

Eg : If I can have 2 chapatis or a bowl of rice. And, I eat a bowl of rice. Then, 'opportunity cost' of a rice bowl is - the next best available '2 chapattis' foregone for the former.
