Your neighbor is an avid gardener who changes his flower displays four times per year and who was given the "best yard on the block" award last year. While you personally enjoy these changing flower displays, some of your neighbors have said they do not like some of the flowers your neighbor chooses to plant. For you, this is an example of:

a. an internal cost.

b. internalizing the external cost.

c. a positive externality.

d. the tragedy of the commons.

e. a negative externality.

The positive externality refers to actions that directly or indirectly present benefits to society. Sometimes these activities are paid for third parties, likewise, it can be seen that each action that is carried out, however small, will have effects on people (society) causing a positive externality.

For example, in the case of the neighbor, there is a positive externality, since his ability with the garden gives the neighborhood a nice touch, although some plants are not liked by some neighbors, you can see different and beautiful things in the neighbor's garden, and this benefit is being obtained at no cost to others since the person who invests is a person and the others also enjoy the benefits of it.

I hope this information can help you.
