(B) An ethical dilemma is a situation that a person faces in which a decision must be made about the appropriate behavior.

Explanation:

An ethical dilemma occurs when a person must make a decision on what to do or not to do, a decision in which an ethic principle is compromised. From different options to choose, you must chose the one you think is suitable based on the conceptions of right and wrong you and different sectors of society have. This based on different factors and contexts, for example, in medicine there are some ethical principles that must not be broken. So to make a decision they must be considered. An ethical dilemma can be very difficult to solve as values, morals, laws, etc. are involved.
