Option A is definitely not a good look. Rejecting an opportunity without evaluation? That's just lazy, not to mention unprofessional.

Haha, option E is a real knee-slapper. Closing down factories in high unemployment areas? That's just a recipe for disaster, both ethically and practically.

I'd say option B is also a breach. Using a professional decision to visit a family member is a clear conflict of interest.

B) I agree, recommending a supplier based on personal reasons is not ethical.
