Final Answer : C, Explanation :  The ethical question asks one to consider how one would want someone else to behave if they were in your situation and you were affected by their decision. This question encourages the consideration of empathy, perspective-taking, and the Golden Rule (treating others as you would like to be treated). Option A deals with resources, which is not applicable to the ethical question. Option B is related to the situation, but not the specific ethical question being asked. Option D is also related to ethics, but not specific to the question being posed.
