Which set represents the SMART criteria for Mega Goal?

• A. Simple, Marketable, Actionable, Realistic, Timely
• B. Strategic, Meaningful, Attributable, Realistic, Timely
• C. Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound
• D. Specific, Measurable, Adaptable, Relevant, Trackable

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is using SMART to turn a Mega Goal into a clear, actionable plan. SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. Each part helps ensure the goal is well-defined and doable. Specific means the goal states exactly what is to be achieved. Measurable adds a way to track progress and know when the goal is reached. Achievable focuses on feasibility given resources and constraints. Relevant ensures the goal matters in the bigger picture and aligns with broader aims. Time-bound sets a deadline or timeframe to create urgency and keep progress moving.

The set with Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound matches this standard wording and structure. Other options mix in terms like Simple, Marketable, Actionable, or Adaptable and Trackable, which aren’t the conventional SMART terms, so they don’t align with the familiar framework.
