A critical component of the long-range transportation planning process is the development and evaluation of options for transportation solutions to meet the identified needs or deficiencies in an area. Further, if various land use scenarios are under consideration by local communities, these may also be analyzed to determine the interaction between various transportation options and land use. The study of these multimodal project proposals and land use options is often termed 'Alternatives and Scenario Analysis. Choosing between the different options for transport solutions results in... A. A best alternative foregone. OB. The economic problem of scarcity. OC. An opportunity cost D.A trade off
