The correct answer is a. utilitarian approach.

Explanation:

Utilitarianism is a theory founded at the end of the 18th century by Jeremy Bentham, which states that the best action is the one that produces the greatest utility for the greatest number of individuals involved, maximizes utility. Another philosopher who developed this concept was John Stuart Mill in his book "Utilitarianism" in 1863.

Part of the fact that every human being always acts, whether at the individual, collective, private, public level, as in political legislation, according to the principle of greatest happiness, in view of the benefit of the greatest number of individuals.

"Utility" is defined in several ways, generally in terms of the welfare of human beings. Bentham described it as the sum of all pleasure that results from an action, minus the suffering of any person involved in that action. In neoclassical economics, preference satisfaction is called utility while in moral philosophy, it is synonymous with happiness, whatever the way in which it is understood. This ethical doctrine is sometimes summarized as "the maximum welfare for the maximum number".
