Answer:

c. distal; proximal

Step-by-step explanation:

Options are "a. tactical; strategic , b. operational; tactical , c. distal; proximal, d. operational; strategic , e. proximal; distal."

A manufacturer of snowboards could set a distal goal to increase revenues by 8 percent over the next five years and a proximal goal to increase sales next June in Aspen, Colorado, by 3 percent. Since the first mentioned goal covers a span of 5 years so it can be categorized as either strategic or distal but 'strategic' is unavailable in option choices so distal can be chosen. The second goal has span of up to a year and it is more specific so it qualifies for tactical as well as proximal plan. But 'tactical' is unavailable in option choices so proximal can be chosen. Operational goals generally deals with day to day activities , so they are irrelevant with the present scenario.
