A local council has been awarded a $million\pounds 2.5\text{ million}$ grant for municipal development and is evaluating three mutually exclusive proposals:

Resurfacing high-wear local roads ( $R$ )
Constructing a new community leisure centre ( $L$ )
Developing a municipal park and green space ( $P$ )

The council’s cost-benefit analysis determines that resurfacing the roads ( $R$ ) provides the highest net social benefit. Additionally, they prefer the public health outcomes of the leisure centre ( $L$ ) over the environmental benefits of the municipal park ( $P$ ).

If the council acts rationally to maximise net social benefit, what is the opportunity cost of this decision?

The municipal park ( $P$ )

The community leisure centre ( $L$ )

Resurfacing high-wear local roads ( $R$ )

The community leisure centre ( $L$ ) and the municipal park ( $P$ ) combined
