Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The five tiers of environmental costs include hidden costs, which are costs that are not immediately apparent or visible. External costs are costs that are incurred by society and the environment due to business activities, while prime costs are the direct cost of materials and labor. Conversion costs are the costs of converting raw materials into finished goods. None of these types of costs are explicitly included in the five tiers of environmental costs.
