What is the definition of intiative

The word 'initiative' has a lot of definitions to it, so I will only list a few. 

#1 definition of initiative would be: a new plan or process to achieve something or solve a problem

#2 definition of initiative would be: the ability to assess and initiate things independently

#3 definition of initiative would be: the opportunity to act or take charge before somebody else do.

Initiative: the ability to access and initiate things independently.

Ithink it's c but could be wrong
