    None of the options are correct

    Explanation:

    The train would cost her, which is computed as:

    = Cost + (Hours * Opportunity Cost)

    = $400 + (4 hours * $15 per hour)

    = $400 + $60

    = $460

    The driving would cost her, which is computed as:

    = Cost + (Hours * Opportunity Cost)

    = $250 + (6 hours * $15 per hour)

    = $250 + $90

    = $340

    Savings = Train Cost - Driving Cost

    = $460 - $340

    =$120

    None of the options are correct as the she would save $120.
