An ethical dilemma is a complex situation where there is no clear ethical choice. It arises when all alternative choices have potentially negative ethical consequences.

Option A refers to an individual who is capable of making moral decisions, while option B refers to the obligation a corporation has to its stakeholders. Option D refers to a guideline or principle that individuals or organizations use to make ethical decisions, while option E refers to an organization's voluntary actions that go beyond legal requirements.
