But isn't the mission about purpose? So, C is better.

Definitely C. The mission statement is all about the "why" behind the business, not the "how" or "what".

I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like it could be about how we work too. B seems plausible, but I think C might be more accurate.

I remember a practice question that asked about the purpose of a mission statement, and it seemed to focus on direction. Maybe A is also a good choice?

I'm a bit confused on this one. The mission statement could cover a few different things like the organization's direction, work approach, or objectives. I'll have to think it through carefully.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. The mission statement could also be about the direction the organization wants to take, so A might be a good option too.
