Accepted Answer

The definition of power encompasses both the ability of an actor to prevent an issue from being raised (often referred to as "agenda-setting power" or "non-decision-making power") and the capacity to compel another actor to act in a way they would not have chosen on their own, despite resistance. This comprehensive understanding of power includes both the proactive and preventative aspects of influence and control in social, political, or interpersonal contexts.

Ethics is the analytical and philosophical study of morality, which includes principles, values, and standards of conduct that determine what is right and wrong. This includes examining the theoretical and practical issues that arise in moral and ethical decision-making. While A and C are related to ethics, they do not fully encompass the breadth and depth of the field.
