Explanation:

The following that contributed to the collapse of command economies in

communist countries around the end of the Cold War was their inability to produce food for their citizens.

This was their biggest downfall as they failed to prioritise the production of consumer goods for their citizens which led to widespread hunger and dissatisfaction.

the correct answer is “opportunity cost”. opportunity cost is what a company misses out because it decided in one option over another one. in this case, the company decided to invest in building a factory so it gave up another possible benefit or profit in order to achieve success with the factory.  

trade-off is not the correct answer since it is a situation in which you accept losing something in return for benefits in other areas.

and finally, consequence is a general term used to accept what it comes when you make a decision. it can be a positive or negative consequence depending if the decision you took was the correct one.
