The mission defines what we do, and the vision is about where we want to go.

I vaguely recall that the mission relates to stakeholders, but I can't remember if it's external or internal. Option D seems a bit confusing to me.

I feel like I mixed up the definitions before. Is the mission really just short-term goals? That sounds like option C, but I thought it was broader than that.

I remember practicing a question that emphasized the aspirational nature of the vision. So, I think option B makes the most sense to me.

I think the mission is more about what the organization does, but I'm not sure if it's really about financial targets like option A suggests.
