Answer:

Option (d) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The opportunity cost refers to the benefit that would be obtained from the next best alternative.

Here, given that

Tuition cost for attending college = $14,000 per year

Room cost = $5,000

Money income could be earned = $26,000

Therefore, the Opportunity cost is as follows:

= $14,000 + $5,000 + $26,000

= $45,000
