The total cost of taking the economics course includes the tuition cost, the cost of the textbook and notebook, and the fact that Adam could not take the history course at the same time. This is because if he chooses to take the economics course, he will have to pay the tuition fee and also purchase the required textbook and notebook. Additionally, since the history course meets at the same time, choosing to take the economics course means he will not be able to take the history course, which is a missed opportunity cost. Hence, the correct choice is D.
