Correct Answer: Measurable and specific


Solution : The correct answer is (d) Measurable and specific

A well-defined objective should be measurable and specific, meaning it is clear and precise in its description and can be quantified or evaluated. By being measurable and specific, an objective provides clarity about what needs to be achieved, allows for progress tracking, and enables effective evaluation of success or completion.

Measurability allows for the establishment of criteria or metrics by which progress and outcomes can be assessed. This ensures that progress towards the objective can be tracked and measured objectively.

Specificity ensures that the objective is clearly defined, leaving no room for confusion or misinterpretation. It provides clarity on the desired outcome, the scope of the objective, and the actions required to achieve it.
