John, an American executive, learns that a foreign subsidiary hired a 12-year-old orphan girl to work on the factory floor.

An ethical dilemma is a situation where an individual is faced with making a decision between two options where if any option is chosen the individual might act against his/her moral principle.

Answer:

A. an ethical dilemma

Explanation:

An ethical dilemma is a scenario in which an individual is faced with making a difficult choice between two conflicting alternatives, in which if one decides to a either of the choices, it is still quite impossible not to go against a particular moral principle. In such case of John, he is faced with this same situation in which he finds it difficult to make a decision about the 12-year-old orphan girl that was hired. If he decides to uphold the company's own ethical code, he would be denying the girl her only source of income which he personally thinks is not right.
