I feel like I might be overthinking it, but isn't economy more about cost-effectiveness? I hope I remember the definitions correctly!

I'm with you, In. Efficiency is the way to go. Although, I do have to give a shout-out to the person who came up with the term 'economy' as an answer choice. That's a bit of a curveball, but I can appreciate the creativity!
