Solution

Economic problem

Explanation:

The scarcity definition of economics, given by Robbins, emphasizes that economics studies human behavior as a relationship between unlimited wants and scarce means with alternative uses, which leads to the economic problem of choice. It is not primarily about material welfare, wealth, or just material goods but about the problem arising due to limited resources relative to unlimited wants.
