Answer 1

Answer:        

an ethical dilemma                    

Explanation:

An ethical dilemma and sometimes referred to as ethical contradiction refers to the problem of decision-making between two possible moral imperatives, none of which is unmistakably acceptable or preferable. The complexity arises from the clash of situations in which obedience would lead to another being transgressed.
