Both options A and C can make it easier for individuals to compromise their ethics in group settings. In option A, individuals may feel that someone else is more responsible or in charge, which can lead to diffusion of responsibility and reduce personal accountability. In option C, individuals may argue that they were simply following established group procedures or norms, which can also reduce personal accountability and make unethical behavior seem more acceptable.
