David Jenkins · Answer 1

The correct option is C.

Scientists are expected to be moral, truthful and upright in all their dealings including their career and research studies. They are not expected to get engaged in immoral acts just to achieve fame and popularity. The fame and popularity that each scientist seeks can easily be obtained within the boundary of correct moral dealings.
