Why each option
Within a business strategy, goals are the component that must be measurable to allow for effective tracking of progress and determination of success towards the overall vision and mission. Measurable goals provide concrete targets for the organization's efforts.
The 'environment' refers to the internal and external factors influencing a business, which are analyzed as part of strategy development, but are not a measurable component of the strategy itself.
A 'vision' is an aspirational, long-term statement of what an organization wants to achieve, which is typically qualitative and inspirational rather than directly measurable.
Goals must be measurable to allow an organization to track progress, evaluate performance, and determine whether objectives are being met, providing concrete benchmarks for success within a business strategy.
A 'mission' describes an organization's purpose and primary objectives, often qualitative, serving as a guiding principle rather than a directly measurable component of strategy.
