Explanation:

The Government guaranteed the price of the carbon and the payoff is to be one year later.

The opportunity cost will therefore be a similar Government security to the payoff term of the carbon sale which is 1 year.

The Government security with a similar payoff term is the US Treasury bill with 1 year left till maturity and this will be the opportunity cost because instead of the Government issuing and paying out that security they will instead pay for the carbon.
