Haha, I bet the exam writers are having a field day with this one. Gotta love those ethics questions! But seriously, I'm going with D. The long-range consequences are key, and respecting others' rights is obviously a must.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. I think B might be the right answer. The long-term consequences of sexual harassment could be pretty severe, so that principle is probably applicable too.

I think the answer is A. Sexual harassment definitely falls under the principle of not committing a wrongful act that reflects badly on the planner's professional fitness. And respecting the rights of others and not discriminating against people is also clearly relevant.
