The correct answer is C. SMART. SMART is an acronym that stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. It's a framework used to assess and validate business goals and objectives. By using the SMART criteria, you can evaluate whether the business goals are well-defined, realistic, and aligned with the organization's overall strategy. Here's how you can apply the SMART criteria: - Specific: Is the goal clearly defined and easy to understand? - Measurable: Can progress toward the goal be measured? - Achievable: Is the goal realistic and attainable? - Relevant: Is the goal aligned with the organization's overall strategy and objectives? - Time-bound: Is there a specific deadline or timeframe for achieving the goal? By using the SMART criteria, you can ensure that the business goals are well-defined, achievable, and aligned with the organization's overall strategy.
