Answer:

According to the question, the 3 acres of land can support 10 apple trees irrespective of the land quality.

But there is an issue in cultivating orange trees because it requires some land of good quality for better production results.

Opprtunity cost is sacrifying return from one project to attain the return from the another project.

This means opportunity cost of growing 30 orange tree on the best land is 30 apple tree, growing 20 orange trees on ok land is 30 apple tree and growing 10 orange trees on bad land is also 30 apple trees.  

So from the opportunity cost scenario, it is better to cultivate orange only if the price and land quality is best otherwise, apple trees are the best option here.
