Answer 1

Answer:

C). Place a checkbox on the top of the online form, in emphasized type, that reads "I agree to allow Acme Co. to take pictures of my child or children to record and promote field-day activities." Design the form so that this checkbox is not checked when the parent gets to that page.

Explanation:

Ethics is associated with a set of moral postulations that govern an individual's conduct or behavior and allows him/her to take decisions that are morally right and justified for everyone.

As per the question, option C displays the ethical way to seek parents' permission because it asks for the permission honestly and reasonably instead by misleading or misinforming them inappropriately. The emphasized type information on the top of the checkbox clearly reveals to the parents that they are asking for the permission to click picture of their child which reflects the righteous manner of seeking permission and ensuring that checkbox is not checked displays the moral justness and virtuous conduct. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
