Dwayne Ferguson · Answer 1

The answer that makes the most sense is C

Maddox · Answer 2

Correct answer is "c".

Explanation:

We always use the "marginal analysis" (marginal costs and marginal benefits) when we have to choose what to do in our lives. The costs and benefits can be visible or invisible.

But only the person inside the situation can do the calculation. It doesn't have a correct answer, these are cases where the cost and the benefit are abstract.
