The correct answer is A: Public safety, duties to individuals, duties to the profession, and duties to principals. Explanation: When resolving ethical conflicts, information security professionals must prioritize their responsibilities based on the (ISC)² Code of Ethics. The hierarchy outlined emphasizes the following: Public safety: The highest priority is always to protect the safety and welfare of society and the public. Duties to individuals: After public safety, consideration should be given to the rights and welfare of individuals who may be impacted by the decision. Duties to the profession: The integrity and reputation of the information security profession must be upheld. Duties to principals: Finally, responsibilities to employers, clients, and other stakeholders come after the previous considerations. This hierarchy ensures that ethical decision-making focuses first on broader societal impacts and progresses toward more specific obligations.

A number of people here seem to be overestimating the importance of individuals. There is no mention of individuals in PAPA. Public safety, principals, and profession are the only three points here to put in order. As "individuals" does not have its own section in PAPA, it comes AFTER we've put those others in order.

C is the correct answer.
