According to Mill, how is utilitarianism compatible with the requirements of justice?
A) The things that justice requires are simply things that are, from a utilitarian perspective, especially important for people to do.
B) Utilitarianism can acknowledge justice as a set of guidelines to help people make moral decisions while insisting that the general happiness remains the sole criterion for right and wrong.
C) Although the requirements of justice are not real moral requirements, the fact that people feel great mental pain when they are violated means that utilitarianism generally opposes such violations.
D) The rules of justice impose arbitrary limits on what people may do to promote the general happiness, but within those limits, people ought to maximize pleasure and minimize pain.
