Correct answer: option 3
The option that can be related to opportunity cost is: Economic cost
Explanation:
Opportunity cost refers to the value of the next best alternative foregone when a decision is made.

Therefore, economic cost encompasses the concept of opportunity cost, as it considers the value of the resources in their best alternative uses.
