The correct answer is C) It supports the balance between opposing forces.
Although you forgot to include the quote, we did some research and can answer the following.
The central idea of the quote reflects the ideas of Taoism in the following way: It supports the balance between opposing forces.
This is the quote that is missing. It belongs to Tao Te Ching, Laozi: <em>"The Way gives birth to the One. The One gives birth to two. Two give birth to three. All three give birth to all things. All beings support the yin and embrace the yang. And through the blending of qi (energy), they create harmony."</em>
So as we can read in the quote. Taoism refers to the correct balance of opposite forces to live in harmony: good and bad, black and white, fear and love.
One good example is the symbol of the Ying and the Yang, in which the black sign has a white dot and the white sign has a black dot. This is the perfect balance of energy in everything that exists.

The correct answer is: "studying the profitability of growing apples versus oranges"
The opportunity cost is defined as the value of the rejected alternative when a producer, business, or investor chooses one option over another. The chosen alternative would be the one which carries the lowest opportunity cost.
In the example provided, if the producer discovers that the profitability of growing apples is larger, he would choose to produce apples. Then, the opportunity cost would be the amount of money that he could have gained from producing oranges.
