The correct answer is A. Effectively, but not efficiently.
Efficiency refers to achieving maximum productivity with minimum wasted effort or resources, while effectiveness refers to producing the desired or intended result. In this scenario, the job was completed successfully, indicating effectiveness. However, the fact that more time and effort were used than necessary suggests that the job was not completed efficiently.
