The direct answer is A: justice, truth, long-term trust and prevention of harm provide the best basis for resolving an ethical dilemma. An ethical dilemma occurs when a work decision involves competing duties or possible harms. A sound decision should be fair to affected people, honest, responsible, and safe in the long run. Option A is correct because it combines these principles rather than focusing only on convenience. Option B is wrong because the easiest action may be unfair or harmful. Option C is wrong because personal gain alone ignores colleagues, customers, society and professional duty. Option D is wrong because quick praise is temporary and may reward dishonest behaviour. Ethical conduct builds dependable relationships even when the correct choice is difficult. A useful exam method is to ask: Is it truthful? Is it fair? Could it prevent harm? Will it preserve trust over time?

Without shared goals departments may move in different directions. In exams connect organizational vision with teamwork.

Proper help seeking can improve work quality and safety. In exams connect help seeking with maturity.

A good work attitude requires respectful behaviour along with time. In exams connect attitude with interpersonal behaviour.

Skill helps a person perform work with proper method, efficiency and quality. Values such as honesty, responsibility and fairness ensure that the work is done ethically and can be trusted. Skill alone may complete a task, but it does not guarantee proper conduct, so option A is incorrect. Exam tip: In work-life questions, link skill with competence and values with ethical behaviour.

Suppressing criticism can hide problems and stop improvement. In exams connect constructive criticism with improvement.

The direct answer is A: before accepting a new idea, ask whether it is useful, safe, ethical, and implementable. Innovation means introducing a new or improved idea, but “new” alone does not prove that an idea is good. A balanced evaluation checks its purpose, possible benefits, risks, fairness, practical resources, and likely effects on people and work. The reasoning is step by step: first identify the problem; then ask whether the idea solves it or provides real usefulness; check whether it is safe; check whether it respects ethical rules and people’s dignity; finally ask whether it can actually be carried out with available time, skill, money, and materials. Option A is correct because it combines usefulness, safety, ethics, and feasibility. Option B is wrong because being only new does not make an idea beneficial or suitable. Option C is wrong because hiding rules is dishonest and can create risk; good innovation should work within responsible rules. Option D is wrong because personal credit is not a proper test of an idea, and workplace decisions should consider shared benefit rather than individual praise. Memory cue: before saying yes to innovation, test “useful, safe, ethical, doable.”
