The question is about opportunity cost, which refers to the value of the best alternative foregone when a decision is made. In this case, Manchester United faces the decision of whether to continue playing on a damaged pitch.
The correct answer is A. increase ...... there was a higher chance for the players to get injured. Opportunity cost increases because playing on a poor-quality pitch raises the risk of injuries, potentially affecting future matches, player performance, and even financial outcomes for the team.
The other options don't accurately reflect opportunity cost:
- B talks about poor performance, but opportunity cost is about what is forgone, not just negative consequences.
- C and D suggest that opportunity cost remains unchanged, which is incorrect because the quality of the pitch affects what the team sacrifices.
