Francesca Stanton · Answer 1

The firm is attempting to create an ethics-based culture (B).

Answers A and D can be eliminated due to the fact that those go against what the firm is doing to change the culture. Answer C can be eliminated because values refer to an individual, while ethics refer to a group or community (such as a firm).
