Consider an organization that exists to help the poor. The members of the organization are discussing alternative methods of aiding the$$ poor, when a proponent of one particular method asserts$$ that:

$"$If only one poor person is helped with this$$ method, then all our time and money would have been worth$$ it$."$

If you were a member of the$$ organization, what reply best represents clear economic$$ thinking?$$

This attitude

A$.$

is the most logical because it is focussed on helping even one person.

B$.$

acknowledges the importance of considering all the alternatives.

C$.$

recognizes the fact that since the organization is a$$ charity, there is an opportunity cost based on the square root of other$$ peoples' needs.

D$.$

ignores the fact that the cost of helping that one person has an opportunity cost of what those funds could have been used for to help other people.
