I'm just hoping the correct answer isn't 'All of the above' - that's always a trap question!

Hmm, I'm torn between B and C. I think the mission statement should communicate the organization's advantages, but it also needs to be flexible and realistic. Maybe a combination of those two would be best?

I disagree. Mission statements need to be specific and impact organizational behavior, not just be vague and inspirational. Option A is the way to go.

I think option D is the correct answer. Mission statements should be aspirational and capture the imagination of stakeholders, not just be realistic and attainable. What's the point if it doesn't inspire people?
