Requesting quotes without any intention to purchase? That's just a waste of everyone's time. I'd say that's unethical too.

I disagree. I think B and D are unethical because they involve deception and unfair practices.

Placing business with a company where your sister works, even if instructed, seems like a clear conflict of interest. That's definitely unethical in my book.

I agree with Elena. A because of conflict of interest and C because it wastes suppliers' time.
