An entrepreneur must choose between higher profit that harms society and lower profit that benefits society. Which option reflects sustainable thinking?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The responsible option that benefits society
Sustainable thinking considers long-term economic, social, and environmental consequences rather than immediate profit alone. A responsible option can preserve trust, reduce harm, and support continued business activity. Choosing a harmful option or hiding both activities is neither ethical nor sustainable, so option A is the best answer.
