Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The utilitarian ethical theory determines choices that are socially beneficial and ethically correct, which means that it focuses on the outcomes of actions rather than the individual's duty or moral rules. While it may consider the welfare of others, it also considers the overall utility or happiness that results from a particular action. Therefore, option A and B are incorrect. Additionally, like any ethical theory, it is not free from flaws, so option D is also incorrect.
