Question

a country chops down banana trees for the sake of cultivating more pineapples. this is an example of which of the following?
law of demand and law of supply
adam smiths lectures on jurisprudence
says law
law of increasing opportunity costs

Explanation:

This scenario involves choosing one crop over another, where the opportunity cost is the lost banana production from switching to pineapples. The law of increasing opportunity costs describes how producing more of one good means giving up increasing amounts of the other, which aligns with reallocating resources from bananas to pineapples. The other options are irrelevant: supply/demand focuses on price-quantity relationships, Adam Smith's jurisprudence covers legal theory, and Say's law centers on supply creating its own demand.

Answer:

law of increasing opportunity costs
