Option B involves a situation where Drebben must decide whether to help a person in need, which is an example of a prosocial moral dilemma. The other options do not involve a conflict between two moral values or goals. Option A involves a situation where Heinz must decide whether to steal a drug, which could be considered a moral dilemma, but it is not prosocial as stealing is illegal. Option C involves a situation where Jasper must decide between two activities, but it is not a moral dilemma. Option D involves a situation where Brigham must decide whether to cheat or not, but cheating is not a prosocial behavior.
