    D. There is a car and a bike you want to buy. You decide to buy the car instead of the bike
    Explanation
    The best example of opportunity cost is when you decide to buy the car instead of the bike. This is because by choosing to buy the car, you are giving up the opportunity to buy the bike. Opportunity cost refers to the value of the next best alternative that is forgone when a decision is made. In this case, the opportunity cost of buying the car is the bike that you could have purchased instead.

This allows the franchisee to sell the same products or services as the franchisor, benefiting from their brand recognition and established customer base.
