ANSWER: Opportunity Cost is the cost of losing the next best alternative compared to the option that has been chosen. There can be numerous situations of opportunity cost. A situation which is simple yet best is as follows:

David is a doctor who charges $20 from his patients for regular checkup. He knows that weekend evening will be full of patients and he won't have time to rest. There are an average of 15 patients every weekends. So by the simple calculation, David will be earning $300 on a single weekend evening. But due to popular rock concert being organized in the city on a weekend evening, David decides to skip the day and visit the rock concert. The ticket price for the rock concert was $50. So,the opportunity cost for David was $350 because not only David lost the chances of his earning that evening but he also spent $50 on the tickets of the rock concert.

What brought an end to the Zhou dynasty?

Lapatulllka [165]

The wars between the feudal lords brought an end to the Zhou dynasty of China. The correct option in regards to all the options given in the question is the second option. The rulers of the Zhou dynasty declined morally and intellectually with passing time. This led the Zhou dynasty to be divided into many small warring factions. The Zhou dynasty got broken into several states and some of the rulers became highly powerful. The Zhou ruler was challenged several times by the smaller states and ultimately one such state by the name of Qin took control and started a new dynasty.
