Answer:

a. ​choices must be made.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are limited resources available to meet the insatiable wants of man, choices have to be made.

This is what gives rise to a scale of preference which requires that wants are arranged in order of importance and available resources are used to satisfy them in that order.

Wants not satisfied are the real or opportunity cost of those satisfied.
