Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ethical dilemmas arise when norms and values are in conflict, meaning that there are two or more courses of action available, each with its own set of values or norms supporting it. Option B is incorrect because there may be multiple courses of action available. Option C is incorrect because if norms and values are not in conflict, there is no ethical dilemma to resolve. Option D is incorrect because having several theories of ethical decision making doesn't necessarily create an ethical dilemma. Therefore, option A is the best choice.
