Answer:

The best answer to the question: Who would aregue that Donald weighed the potential costs and benefits of shooting the victim and decided to pull the trigger as a result of free will, would be, D: A rational choice theorist.

Explanation:

Rational choice theory is a perspective that helps to understand human behavior and the choices that a person, or a group, makes, in light of the options, and preferences, that that person has, given a certain situation. As such, anyone who applies this perspective will take a given circumstance and look at all the possible options available to correctly form a reaction to it, including weighing all the consequences, the benefits and the potential costs of making such a choice. In light of this perspective, Donald was faced by a difficult circumstance in which his life was on the line. Measuring all the possibilities, and overseeing the possible outcomes, Donald makes the choice, even if under duress, to pull out the gun and shoot his partner, instead of simply running away. In light of the rational choice theory, Donald made the choice of his preference after weighing all the possibilities.

zhannawk [14.2K]

However as is the case in many of these exchanges, not all of these parties follow the extent of the law and commit fraud to ease their operation or gain a large benefit in doing so, this is when the government has to step in and do what's in its power to prevent fraud, this results in legislation being passed to prevent such acts.
