In which situation is the aim of ethical autonomy most clear?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A student follows fair play even without supervision
The governing concept is ethical autonomy: the ability to choose and follow morally sound conduct through internal understanding rather than external pressure. Option A demonstrates this because the student maintains fair play even when no teacher is watching. Option C shows obedience based on fear, not autonomy. Option B shows deliberate dishonesty, while option D ignores responsible conduct and safety. Ethical autonomy therefore combines self-discipline, moral reasoning and consistent behaviour in the absence of supervision.
