C) Amir only has time to study or to play basketball.

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is the cost of the next best alternative that is foregone or sacrificed. Amir only has time to study or to play basketball. So, he can either study or play basketball. If he chooses to study, he is sacrificing on playing basketball. While, if he chooses to play basketball he is sacrificing on his study time. Thus, this is an example of opportunity cost.

While, the other options do not involve any sacrifice or lost alternative.
