Response
Question 3 (Opportunity Cost)
Brief Explanations

- "The additional benefit gained from one more unit of a good" is marginal benefit, not opportunity cost.
- "The monetary price paid for a good or service" is the explicit price, not opportunity cost.
- "The value of the best alternative forgone" matches the definition of opportunity cost.

- "Capital Goods" are man - made resources for production, not natural.
- "Natural Resources" are resources from nature like land, air, water.
- "Entrepreneurship" is about organizing production, not a natural resource.
- "Labor" is human effort, not a natural resource.
