But isn't disclosure also important? They should be transparent.

This is tricky! I thought potential conflicts were just something to be aware of, but now I'm questioning if it's really about avoiding them. Maybe A) Potential?

I practiced a similar question where a representative had to refuse gifts. I feel like Ethical Financial is trying to control the situation, so I might lean towards D) Control.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about disclosure being important in these situations. Maybe B) Disclosure could be the answer?

I think this is about avoiding conflicts of interest, so I might go with C) Avoidance. It seems like the safest option.
