Explanation

Business strategy is correct because it defines the long-term, high-level plan that outlines how an organization will move from its current state to its target state, aligning resources, decisions, and initiatives toward overarching goals.

• A. Business priority - identifies what matters most right now, but is a ranking or focus area, not a plan for achieving goals.
• B. Business outcome - describes a result the business wants to achieve (the "what"), not the plan for getting there.
• D. Business requirement - specifies a need or condition that must be met to deliver a solution; it's tactical and solution-focused, not long-term directional.
• E. Business solution - the actual implementation or product that addresses a need; it's an answer to a problem, not a roadmap.

Memory tip: Think "Strategy = the Road Map." A road map shows you the long-term route to your destination (target state) - just as business strategy charts the course to organizational goals. If it's about how to get there over time, it's strategy.
