Answer:

C. Will anyone be hurt by my action?

Explanation:

Many organizations and associations have a code of ethics that provides a guideline on ethics. The code states what acceptable and what is not. In the absence of a code of ethics,  several guiding principles may help determine what is ethical.

One acceptable principle is that an act is moral or ethical if it increases happiness for most people or greatly reduces their misery. A good question to ask oneself before deciding is whether the consequences of their actions will bring joy or sorry to people.  Ethical actions tend to make others happy.
