a period of time: This is not the best choice here. Although "a period of time" fits into the context of the mayor's phrase, an endeavor is not a period of time.
a bitter and leafy white vegetable: Do not be confused with an "endive".
an exchange: This is incorrect. "An endeavor" has nothing to do with "an exchange", although it does sound a little bit like "to hand over"

1 effort: This is the correct answer. An "endeavor" is an activity or "effort", often business-related. The term is often used to describe the start of a "journey" (literal or figurative) which requires effort. Bruno uses the term "endeavor" to describe the effort or undertaking that he and Ursula will take together to make the Delavigne Corp more environmentally friendly. Note the UK spelling of the word: "endeavour".

1 concept: This is incorrect. An "endeavor" is not a "concept". A "concept" is a general notion or idea, for example: His concept to invade Great Britain seemed a little unrealistic.
