Thank you so much Mr. Farooq for your kind invitation; I prefer awaiting the Experts' answers.

B. Oppurtunity Cost is the correct answer.

Details:

Opportunity costs: When you focus on Project A, it generally means that resources are not available to work on Project B. The lost value of Project B is Project A's opportunity cost.
