d. Balancing efficiency against effectiveness.

efficiency aims to reducing the use of resources through maximizing return while effectiveness is measured by results. It's very difficult to achieve.

most management metrics tend to Efficiency while it's not impossible to balance between the two but at least try to include both.

D seems the answer b/s balancing effectiveness and efficiency is something difficult or imposible. Effectiveness and efficiency are trade off things. When one exist the other will be lost.
