A Correct answer
Explanation

"Proactive" means taking initiative and acting in anticipation of future problems or needs. Being proactive allows one to tackle urgent work because you're ahead of situations. "Reactive" means responding after problems occur, which is the opposite. "Thoughtful" and "timely" don't capture the forward-looking, initiative-taking aspect.
