Answer:

This is a case of low moral intelligence,option A.

Explanation:

Moral intelligence is the ability to differentiate right from wrong as well as acting based on what one thinks is right.

Moral intelligence is a function of one's uprightness and envisaging the consequences of an action.

All in all, the top executive should have known that the information about his stock performance is a classified information not meant for everyone's consumption,hence his moral intelligence at the lowest ebb.
