I’m torn between A and C, but I lean towards A since ethical sourcing should focus on sustainability and fairness, right?

I practiced a similar question where we had to identify what ethical sourcing really means, and I think A is definitely not aligned with that concept.

I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like value for money usually means considering quality too, which might exclude A.

I remember discussing ethical sourcing in class, and I think it’s about more than just the lowest price. So, A might be the answer.
