Guillermo Krause · Answer 1

The correct answer is D) goods that a student cannot purchase because of spending on books, tuition, food, and housing and the foregone income that could have been earned while in college.

The D option is very similar to the A option, but D is more complete because besides the cost of tuition and books, it also includes the cost of housing and food, which are costs that college students must incurr.
