The correct answer is D) both are used in the process of synthesizing evidence.  

A similarity between comparisons and contrast is that both are used in the process of synthesizing evidence.  

A researcher uses comparison when he/she is looking for similarities in the research. The researcher uses contrast when it tries to find differences. When you are in the process of synthesizing evidence in research, you need to use comparisons and contrast to get useful information.  

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.
