I vaguely recall that integrating ethics into decision-making should involve everyone, not just the top level. So, option B seems off to me.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like requiring organizations to adopt a formal ethical policy could be a good approach. Wasn't there a similar question about compliance in our practice exams?
