A) acts that resulted in more harm than good

Irrational
Acting without or against reason; not based on logical, rational thinking.
Immoral/Unethical Acts
Behaviors or actions that are considered wrong or unacceptable based on societal norms or ethical standards.
Non-Deontology
A term incorrectly formed and likely refers to ethical theories not based on duty or rules, such as consequentialism or virtue ethics; however, the correct term does not exist in standard ethical discussions, so I'll mark it as NO.
