Answer:
C) democratic reforms
Explanation:
One of the things I remember when I was a little kid was watching action movies with my father and many of them had a common hero, an American soldier or spy (and James Bond even though he is British), and a common enemy, the Soviet Union or some other communist country.
That was very in the late 80s and early 90s, and probably much earlier. The world was divided into two sides, the side that favored liberty and freedom (the US) and the communist evil nations.
In economic terms, communism and command economies meant that the government controlled most of a country's resources. This had a negative effect in that only politicians and their allies lived well and were rich, while the rest of the population was poor.
But then president Reagan and premier Gorbachev got together and decided that it was time for all the nonsense to stop, and the Berlin Wall fell, the Soviet Union split up and luckily for all (except James Bond and other heroes), communism ended.
The fall of communist led to democratic and capitalistic reforms.

Answer:
No, their economic cost of enrolling in the business program is not the same for both,
Explanation:
The explicit costs of going back to college are the same for Walter and Jesse, e.g. they might be $20,000 per year, or even $30,000 doesn't matter for this analysis. But Walter is currently working as a teacher and that means taht if he decides to go to college, his implicit costs will include the forgone salary as a teacher which is $50,000 per year. Implicit costs are opportunity costs, i.e. additional costs or benefits lost from choosing one activity or investment instead of another alternative.
Since Jesse is not working, whether she goes back to college or not will not affect her income, it will still be $0, but if Walter goes back to college he will lose his salary.
