I'm not totally sure about this one. The options don't seem to map super clearly to the AMA ethics. I'll have to think it through carefully and review the statement again before answering.

Okay, I think I've got it. The answer is C - doing no harm. Misleading customers with inflated prices is clearly a violation of the ethical norm of not causing harm to consumers. Feels like a straightforward application of the AMA ethics.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm leaning towards B - fostering trust in the marketing system. Deliberately misleading pricing seems like it would undermine trust, which is an important ethical principle.

I'm a bit confused on this one. The question is asking about an ethical norm, but the answer choices don't seem to directly match up with the AMA Statement of Ethics. I'll have to re-read that document to see which one fits best.
