Due care is not related to:

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Officers and directors of a company are expected to act carefully in fulfilling their tasks. A director shall act in good faith, with the care an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances and in a manner he reasonably believes is in the best interest of the enterprise. The notion of profit would tend to go against the due care principle.

Best interest sounds like it could be related to due care, but I feel like profit is the odd one out here.

Profit doesn't seem like it would be related to due care, which is more about acting in a responsible way. I'm leaning towards A, good faith, since that's about honesty and integrity.

Okay, let me see. Due care is about being diligent and careful, so it's probably not related to profit, which is more about financial gain. I'll go with B, prudent man.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. Due care seems to be about acting responsibly, so I'm not sure if profit is the right answer. I'll have to think it through more carefully.
