Question

Jirah Bernal · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Rita is using the rationality strategy of denial of injury by stating that no one was harmed by accepting the gift certificate. However, accepting gifts from clients can create a conflict of interest and undermine the company's trust and integrity. Therefore, Rita's argument is not valid, and she is not acknowledging the potential harm her actions could cause.
