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!

Haha, I love how this is turning into a little academic debate! I'm going to have to side with the efficiency crowd on this one. It just seems like the most accurate description of what the question is asking for.

Hmm, I see your point, Jerry. Effectiveness is more about achieving the desired outcome, while efficiency is specifically about the resource utilization aspect. I think Jerry and Irene have the right idea here.

But wait, couldn't you also argue that effectiveness is about achieving the same result with fewer resources? I'm a bit torn on this one.

Ah, this is a tricky one! I've heard this concept described in different ways, but I think the key is really about maximizing output with minimal input. Efficiency definitely seems like the right answer here.
