I thought it might be C) incremental cost, but B makes more sense.

I feel like differential cost could be a contender too, but opportunity cost is definitely the term we used most often in class.

I’m a bit confused. Isn’t incremental cost also related to decision-making? I need to think this through more.

I remember practicing a question like this where we had to identify costs related to alternatives. Opportunity cost seems to fit best here.

I think this might be about opportunity cost, but I'm not entirely sure. It sounds familiar from our discussions on decision-making.
