A refill shop aims to reduce plastic waste and also to survive its first year. Which conclusion is most accurate?
The social objective prevents the shop from having any financial objective
Survival can be measured only by the amount of plastic saved
The objectives may conflict if lower-waste choices raise costs, but both can still guide decisions
A new business should replace survival with market share because it is easier to measure and guarantees long-term profit
