Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Whistle-blowing is generally considered ethical when the motivation is to expose serious wrongdoing, such as a threat to public safety or illegal activity. However, it is not ethical when the motivation is financial gain, as this is a personal interest and can compromise the integrity of the whistle-blower. Therefore, option A, which states that financial gain is an acceptable motivation for whistle-blowing, is not a valid condition for ethical whistle-blowing.
