Answer 1

Answer:

Option C People face tradeoffs

Explanation:

The reason is that the tradeoff is situation where the wise person value the matter on a set scale and then make a decision to choose the best for the thing that he is ready to sacrifice. In business, it is also called Opportunity cost. You have two options in the scenario, if you go to swimming you can't watch the movie and if you go to movie then you can't enjoy swimming.
