Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A goal or aim that a person wants to achieve something is his future is known as long term goal.

When we set concrete goals that should be achieved within desired deadlines then it is known as absolute goal.

Whereas when we are able to distinguish between good or bad things as per the society and set our goals according to that then it is known as normative goal.

On the other hand, when we want or desire something to do in the near future then it is known as short-term goal.

For example, a person wins a hot-dog eating competition is a short term goal as it is something achieved in the near future.

Thus, we can conclude that when Randy sets a goal of winning a hot-dog–eating contest then it is a short term goal.
