Output refers to the result or product of a system, and in this case, the number of passengers transported is the output of the airline's transportation system. Input (choice A) would refer to the resources put into the system, such as fuel, labor, and aircraft. Overhead (choice C) refers to indirect expenses not directly linked to production, such as administrative costs.
