Answer:
A) is a cost to a bystander.
Explanation:
A negative externality is defined as the difference between the social cost and an economic agent from the private cost of an action.
A negative externality is a cost to a bystander as negative externality occurs when a transaction between a buyer and seller affects third party with a loss, which has no involvement in the transaction.
Hence, the correct option is A.
