D. i.e. (a) & (c), are irrelevant, since sunk cost is not budgeted while overheads are semi variable based on level of activity, and both are not part of operating expenses or initial working capital.

On the other hand opportunity cost is quite relevant and a deciding factor, for choosing best least cost alternative.

 

Many Thanks.
