When you ask yourself, Is this goal within my reach given my current situation? You are seeing if your goal is:

Specific

Measureable

Attainable

Realistic

is it a or d

Can you choose more than one? I'd say "all of the above," but that's apparently not an option.

I vote for D.

Years ago a high school boy told me he wanted to be a dentist. However, I advised him to choose another field since he didn't like algebra and didn't do well in it at all.

His goal of being a dentist was not realistic.

Yes, Oscar, I would also opt for D, if you have to choose one.

The correct answer is "d) Realistic".

When you ask yourself if a goal is within your reach given your current situation, you are evaluating whether the goal is realistic or not. The SMART goal-setting framework suggests that goals should be Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound. In this case, whether a goal is within your reach and aligns with your current situation falls under the "Realistic" aspect of SMART goals.
