Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ethics refers to the rules or principles that define right and wrong behaviour. It involves determining what is morally acceptable and not acceptable. Guidelines for moral behaviour (A) and personal convictions about good and bad (E) are related to ethics, but do not fully encompass its definition. Rules for acknowledging the spirit of the law (B) and principles for legal and moral development (D) are different concepts from ethics altogether.
