Carlie Castro · Answer 1

A) Conformity

Explanation:

The reason McKenzie gives is in comformity with a specific set of laws. McKenzie is not explaining whether he thinks that stealing the drug is moral or immoral, but whether it is legal or not. McKenzie could think that stealing the drug is moral, justifiable, convenient, or even enjoyable, but he would rather conform to existing laws and supress all those other reasons.
