Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Moral intensity is higher when the issue produces significant consequences that affect multiple people, and the decision maker is directly involved and responsible for the outcomes. Therefore, options A and B are incorrect. Option C also does not contribute to moral intensity because neutrality and distance from the issue reduce the level of responsibility and emotional connection to the consequences.
