Explanation:

Question 1

• Path dependency: Refers to how past events/investments shape future options, not a focus for change.
• Boundary crossing: Involves moving between different domains, not a specific focus for change.
• Regime: A set of rules/norms, but not the specific place to focus actions for larger change.
• Leverage point: A specific place (in a system) where small changes can lead to large systemic changes, matching the description.

• Adaptable: A system that can respond to change and reorganize to keep working is defined as adaptable.
• Interconnected: Refers to parts of a system being linked, not about responding to change.
• Vulnerable: Means a system is at risk, opposite of resilient response.
• Managed: Implies external control, not the system's own response to change.

D. Leverage point
