A. Virtue ethics
B. Utilitarianism
C. Deontology
D. Corporate social responsibility
The correct answer is: Utilitarianism
Rationale:Utilitarianism is based on 'usefulness': the greatest good of the greatest number.
Deontology is an alternative approach based on absolute moral principles (or categorical imperatives): what is morally 'right' in a situation.
