The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

The ethical principles in business are not much different from the ethical principle in general. They are not separately based on some other special rules to judge business conduct. They are judged from the society's perspective of right and wrong.

There are two schools of ethical principles, namely, ethical universalism and ethical relativism. Universalism believe that the concept of right and wrong are universal. While, on the other hand, relativism school believes that they vary according to local customs.

Though universal ethical principles from different societies form a kind of informal contract that all individuals and organizations have to follow.

Failure to observe these principles not only corrode company's reputation but have also other adverse effects and costs involved.
