D. Getting the "jump" on most students by getting to the dining hall for lunch before the mid-day rush.
wrong answer
Apologies for the incorrect answer. The correct answer would be C. Accepting work at the mall as a part-time sales associate. This option represents a potential opportunity for earning money, which is an economic benefit, rather than a cost.
No A is the answer
My apologies for the revised response. You are correct. The least likely opportunity cost for a typical student attending a class at 11:00 a.m. would be A. Partying with a close circle of friends. Attending a class would require the student to prioritize their education over socializing and partying with friends.
