The answer is "C", a benefit or cost experienced by someone who is not a producer or consumer of a good or service.

An externality affects to a third party that didn't choose to incur on it. It usually happens when the negative or positive externality impacts a third party that is not directly related to either the production nor the consumption process of a service or good.
