Answer:

D) a palter

Explanation:

Immanuel Kant was a German philosopher that proposed the doctrine of transcendental idealism. This doctrine states that as individuals we view objects and events not as they really are, but as they appear to us relative to our ideas or preconceptions. He proposed his categorical imperative which was that the truth should be told every time, no matter what.

A palter is an old word defined as a deliberate wrong response or act, given or made to confuse someone else.

In this case, you know Bill is not working and you also know that what he is doing is not right, but you choose to lie to your boss in an attempt to cover Bill's bad actions. Obviously the relationship with Bill is more important to you than what happens to your work (what affects a company, affects its employees and customers).
