How many quarters are included in a long-range training plan, including the current period and future quarters?

• A. 4 Quarters
• B. 3 Quarters
• C. 6 Quarters
• D. 5 Quarters, 1 current + 4 future

Answer: (D)

The plan is measured in quarters, counting both the present period and a set number of future periods. If you have one current quarter plus four quarters planned ahead, that adds up to five quarters in total. So five quarters—one current and four in the future—best fits the description. The other options would either omit the current period or extend beyond the stated four future quarters.
