If Shelby, Ravi, and Mandy acted collectively, they could split the cost of the snow removal and each pay less than $75. This would make snow removal affordable for all of them and provide a mutually beneficial solution. Waiting for Shelby to pay for it alone (option B) is not fair to Shelby and may not happen, while the current situation (option A) does not solve the problem for any of them. Option C assumes that the fee is too high without any context of the cost of operating a snow plow business.
