What phrase describes the framework to determine whether an action, plan or process is sustainable?

• A. The Environmental Pillar
• B. What are the pillars?
• C. Economic Pillar
• D. Social Pillar

Answer: (B)

Sustainability is evaluated through a framework built from pillars that represent environmental, economic, and social dimensions. The best phrase is the one that invites identifying these pillars—“What are the pillars?”—because it points to naming and considering all three dimensions together, which is what the framework requires. Focusing on a single pillar describes only one aspect and doesn’t capture how sustainability depends on balancing multiple dimensions within the full framework.
