If a goal cannot be plausibly achieved with available resources, which criterion is at issue?

• A. Attainable
• B. Measurable
• C. Time Constrained
• D. Reliable

Answer: (A)

This is about whether a goal is attainable given the resources you have. If the plan relies on more money, equipment, coaching, or time than you actually possess, the goal isn’t realistically achievable, so the issue is attainability. In other words, the target isn’t feasible within the current constraints, so you’d either adjust the goal to be within reach or secure more resources to make it doable. The other criteria deal with different ideas: measurable is about having a way to track progress, time constraints are about deadlines, and reliability concerns the consistency of results, not the feasibility of reaching the goal with the resources at hand.
