Answer 1

Answer: C. Duty Theory

Explanation:

Duty theory can be defined as the theory which suggests that a person is strictly restricted to moral rules and regulation. He or she is adhered to one's role in the society or in personal life. The person is aligned to do right thing and wrong actions and behavior should be restricted and controlled.
