Short term goals are designed to be met in a. less than 1 year b. less than 6 months c. between 6 and 9 months d. between 1 and 5 years

A. less than 1 year

Explanation:

Short term goals are objectives that an individual or a business hopes to accomplish within a year.  Short term goals are smaller units of long term goals. They are the small steps one need to make to attain a bigger objective.

Short term goals can be achieved with a day, a week, a few weeks or months, but should not take more than 12 months. Short term goals should be easy to derive and measure to evaluate progress. For example, buying a car should be a long term goal. To achieve it, you need to accomplish some short term objectives. They may include saving for the car deposit within ten months and obtaining a driver's license with six months.
