Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The PMI's Code of Ethics requires project management professionals to maintain high ethical standards and to avoid conflicts of interest. If a project management professional has a potential conflict of interest, they must disclose it and take steps to avoid or manage the conflict in a manner that is in the best interests of the project and its stakeholders. Ignoring conflicts of interest or pursuing personal interests that conflict with the interests of the project or its stakeholders is a violation of PMI's Code of Ethics and undermines the principles of impartiality and fairness. It is important for project management professionals to act in an ethical and professional manner and to put the interests of the project and its stakeholders first. PMFCC53Discussion
