The correct answer is : An opportunity cost

Explanation:

It has to do with the cost of spending your time and energy on one thing, instead of another thing. It refers to the profit lost when one option is chosen over another. It is useful to examine all reasonable alternatives before making an important decision. This concept can also be used and applied to solve a short-term, nonroutine decision problem.
