Tabitha's neighbors are annoyed by the types of plants she grows in her yard. After several attempts at talking to her, digging up her plants in the night, and even running her out of the neighborhood, Tabitha's annoying behavior has not changed. One neighbor at the HOA meeting suggests they make a rule against those type of plants and only allow a few they like. How might it be evaluated by a utilitarian?
a.) Getting rid of Tabitha's plants is morally right because the happiness it brings all her neighbors will outweigh the harm to her.
b.) Getting rid of Tabitha's plants is morally right because the majority of her neighbors support the action and very few oppose it
c.) Getting rid of Tabitha's plants is morally wrong because Tabitha's happiness is more important than that of her neighbors.
d.) Getting rid of Tabitha's plants is morally wrong because being mean is wrong, regardless of the consequences.
