Answer 1

A. However, that won't even be close to how much it will cost sports teams and amusement parks to close down.

Step-by-step explanation:

When it comes to the economy, the first thing you look for is anything relating to the production of goods and the earning of money. Big money making giants like Amusement parks and Sports teams contribute a lot to the revenue/growth in the economy.

The other answer choices talk about schools closing(relating to education), death tolls(relating to health), and the canceling of major events(relating to lack of entertainment).

Answer A is the only one that mentions the loss of money in major corporations, which will negatively affect the economy.
