The idea that there is a clear definition of what is right and wrong.

• A. Moral relativism
• B. Ethical standards
• C. Moral absolutes
• D. Integrity

Answer: (C)

Moral absolutes mean there are universal, unchanging judgments about what is right and wrong. This item is pointing to that belief—that certain actions are wrong or right in all circumstances, across cultures and contexts. If you hold that view, you’re aligning with moral absolutes, which claim moral truth is not contingent on opinions or situational factors. Moral relativism would oppose this by saying right and wrong depend on cultural norms or individual perspectives, so there isn’t one universal standard. Ethical standards describe norms that guide behavior, often codified within a group or organization, but they aren’t necessarily universal for everyone in every situation. Integrity is about personal honesty and consistency with one’s values, a trait or quality rather than a claim about universal morality.
