Answer:

C) The opportunity cost of going to the party is both the movie and the study time.

Explanation:

Opportunity costs are the costs (or lost benefits) from choosing one alternative activity or investment over another.

In this case, if you decide to go to the party on Saturday night, you will not be able to go to the movies and you will not be able to study for your exam.
