Answer 1

In the process of innovation and development, certain professionals play a key role in guiding and influencing decision-making. Key Points

A change agent is a professional who influences innovation decisions in a direction deemed desirable by the developmental agency.
Change agents work to promote new ideas, technologies, or social changes that align with developmental goals.
They serve as intermediaries between innovation sources (e.g., research institutions, governments, NGOs) and the target community.
Their role includes creating awareness, reducing resistance to change, and facilitating adoption of innovations.

Hint

An innovator is someone who creates or develops new ideas but does not necessarily influence decision-making.
Opinion leaders influence peers and community members but are not formally associated with developmental agencies.
Group educator focuses on teaching concepts but does not actively work to implement change at a community level.

Hence, the correct answer is change agent.
