which of the following statements support the claim in freakonomics that \people are generally good even without enforcement\?
○ small offices are more honest than big ones.
○ unseasonably cold weather makes people cheat.
○ company morale is a major factor in honesty.
○ many people enjoy using the honor system.

Explanation:

To support the claim that people are generally good without enforcement, we analyze each option:

• "Small offices are more honest than big ones" compares honesty between office sizes, not about people being good without enforcement.
• "Unseasonably cold weather makes people cheat" focuses on cheating due to weather, not supporting inherent goodness.
• "Company morale is a major factor in honesty" ties honesty to company morale, not inherent goodness without enforcement.
• "Many people enjoy using the honor system" implies people voluntarily act honestly (honor system has no direct enforcement), supporting the claim.

Answer:

D. Many people enjoy using the honor system
