Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Lisa's behavior of intentionally entering a virus into the company computer system is highly unethical and can have serious consequences for the company's data and privacy. Her actions are not justified as doing what she has to get ahead or for good office politics. Furthermore, falsely claiming to have discovered and repaired a virus can mislead management and potentially harm the company's cybersecurity.
