B) ​corporate social responsibility.
C) ​religious ethical principles.
D) ​outcome-based ethics.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is D, outcome-based ethics.

Explanation:

Duty-based  ethics preaches the idea that one should be seen doing the right thing at all times regardless of the consequences of one's actions, it is unlike the utilitarian approach to ethics where what is wrong or right is a function of having the greatest good for the greatest number of people not minding whether the approach used is wrong or right.

Corporate social responsibility involves the additional efforts put in by corporations in  a bid to give back to society.

Religious ethical principles is about concluding on right or wrong using the lenses of religion.

Outcome-based ethics is a sharp contrast to duty-based ethics, as the outcome or consequence is what justifies the moral right or wrong. in other words the end justifies the means.
