Answer 1

Answer:

It is conform to laws and regulations (A)

Explanation:

A ruled-based or compliance-based approach to ethics code enforced compulsory compliance to laws and regulations. This system doesn't tolerate non-compliance even when there are valid and reasonable reasons not to comply. Sometimes it is called tick box approach .
