What are ethics?

  1. Legal guidelines

  2. Financial advice

  3. Moral principles

  4. Clinical protocols

The correct answer is: Moral principles

Ethics are a set of moral principles that guide a person's behavior and decision making. Option A, legal guidelines, may be related to ethical standards in certain situations, but not all ethical standards are codified into laws. Option B, financial advice, has to do with managing money and is not directly related to ethical principles. Option D, clinical protocols, may involve following ethical standards in healthcare, but it is a specific set of guidelines and not a general definition of ethics.
