B. Sunk cost:
Sunk cost is a cost that cannot be changed in future. It will incurr irrespective of activities you are going to perform in future so it is irrelevant for decesion making. So while calculating NPV sunk cost not considered.
Opportunity costs are the benefits foregoing to earn more return
