    The correct answer is option B.

    Explanation:

    The opportunity cost of an economic decision can be defined as the cost of sacrificing or giving up the second-best alternative.

    Sam has 3 hours to either attend a basketball game, a hockey match or the symphony.

    If she going to the hockey match is her first choice and going to the symphony is the second choice. In this situation, the second-best alternative of the hockey match is going to the symphony.

    So, the opportunity cost of attending the hockey match is going to the symphony.
