The answer is "Effective but not efficient."

Explanation:

  1. Effective but not efficient: This option is correct because Mary's cakes are described as the most beautiful and delicious in town, indicating that she achieves her goal of making high-quality cakes (effective). However, the fact that she throws away three cakes for every one she produces suggests a lack of efficiency, as she is using more resources than necessary to achieve her desired outcome.

  2. Neither effective nor efficient: This option is incorrect because Mary is effective in producing high-quality cakes, even though she is not efficient.

  3. Both effective and efficient: This option is incorrect because, while Mary is effective, she is not efficient due to the high wastage in her production process.

  4. Efficient but not effective: This option is incorrect because Mary is not efficient, as evidenced by the waste in her production process, although she is effective in achieving her goal of making beautiful and delicious cakes.
