Which option best defines 'intervention'?

• A. A temporary delay.
• B. An ongoing process of reacting to changes.
• C. The act of becoming involved in something.
• D. The space between events.

Answer: (C)

Intervention means stepping in or getting involved in a situation to influence its outcome or to address a problem. It’s about taking action to change what’s happening, often in a way that prevents harm or improves the result. A temporary delay isn’t involvement, it’s postponement. Describing an ongoing process of reacting to changes points to continual response, not the act of entering to make a difference. The space between events refers to an interval, not to taking action. So the act of becoming involved in something best captures the meaning of intervention.
