Explanation:
Russel made a choice to study for an hour instead of playing basketball. When making choices people weigh the benefits of an action against its opportunity cost.
Opportunity cost is the forgone alternative when we choose to do something.
In this instance Russell chose to study and the opportunity cost was to enjoy playing a basketball game.
For him to choose to study it means he saw the benefit of reading to be greater than the marginal cost of playing basketball. So he chose the most beneficial activity for him.
