C. Moral rights

Explanation:

The ethical decison could be classified into various types according to what it entails. For example, when a manufacturer tends to cut back employees'hour and pay rather than sacking them, this ethical decision rule showed moral rights.

Because, the employer considered the families of his employees and the responsibilities which they have hence the reason why he didn't sack them.
