An in-depth understanding of ethics is important to the long-term viability of business because unethical decisions will negatively and directly impact all of the following except "the business's number of products".

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Business growth is immensely dependent upon the ethics followed by business owner, employees and other staff. Business need sufficient trust among business partners, employees, staff, executive, suppliers and customers.

A single unethical decision can act as a weapon to spread negativity which have direct impact on customers, suppliers and image of business in market but not in number of products manufactured by a firm. All kind of business may phase ups and down, its a cycle but maintaining ethics in decision making should remain same otherwise the cycle may get stuck into down phase for long time.
