No you haven't.
C. The consequences of [B]
Therefore from C alone: D.
But we look at C. alone:
"C. The consequences of taking that risk are so severe that there is no good argument to

When an option is chosen from alternatives, the opportunity cost is the "cost" incurred by not enjoying the benefit associated with the best alternative choice. The New Oxford American Dictionary defines it as "the loss of potential gain from other alternatives when one alternative is chosen." In simple opportunity cost is the benefit not received as a result of not selecting the next best option.
