Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Moving from point B to point A involves decreasing salad production by 25 units but increasing pizza production by 10 units. Therefore, the opportunity cost of 25 more salads is 10 pizzas, which is the increase in pizza production needed to make room for the lost salad production. Therefore, the best choice is B, which corresponds to an opportunity cost of 10 pizzas.
