Explanation:

Analyze the statement

Using the Business Ethics and Ethical Dilemmas knowledge points

The statement claims: "Conflicts of interest are not to be avoided if everything is considered legitimate."

Evaluate ethical standards

In professional and business ethics, a conflict of interest occurs when an individual's personal interests compromise their professional judgment, decisions, or actions. Ethical standards dictate that conflicts of interest must always be avoided, disclosed, or managed to maintain trust, objectivity, and integrity. Merely considering actions "legitimate" does not eliminate the inherent bias or the appearance of impropriety associated with a conflict of interest. Therefore, the statement is false.

Answer:

• True
• False (Correct answer)
