Which of the following is a Consequence Question example about long-term inaction?

• A. Have you been out there looking for anything that would give you what you're wanting?
• B. What would you do about it if you could?
• C. What are you going to do if nothing changes, if you keep using the same product/service your using now the next 5-10 years?
• D. How important is it to change?

Answer: (C)

Consequence questions aim to reveal what happens if a person does not change course, especially emphasizing the impact over time. This choice directly asks you to project the results of doing nothing and continuing with the current product or service for the next 5–10 years. It makes the future costs, risks, or missed opportunities tangible, which is exactly what a long-term inaction consequence aims to uncover.

The other options don’t fit that emphasis. One asks about whether you’ve looked for something that would meet desires, which is about uncovering needs rather than showing future fallout from inaction. Another asks what you would do if you could act now, which explores potential actions rather than consequences of not acting. The last focuses on how important changing is, a value question rather than a concrete long-term consequence.
