Correct Answer:

It involves sustaining changes over time

Explanation:

The Maintenance stage is about sustaining changes over time. After a change has been initiated, the focus shifts to keeping that new behavior going long-term, making it a stable part of daily life, and using strategies to prevent slipping back into old habits. This involves solidifying routines, continuing supports, and monitoring progress to handle challenges or triggers that could lead to relapse. The other descriptions fit earlier stages or relapse: contemplating change, planning to act, or returning to old habits.
