Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is d. The proper safeguarding of client information.

According to chapter 3 of the GAO Yellow Book, the following are the ethical principles:

1. The public Interest
2. Integrity
3. Objectivity
4. The proper use of government information, resources, and position.
