Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Concept
Research ethics protects participants by minimizing harm, respecting autonomy and privacy, and handling personal information confidentially. Ethical safeguards concern participant welfare and rights; they are not tools for publicity, stratification, or private gain.
Application
Statement A expresses non-maleficence by protecting participants from harm. Statement D expresses respect for privacy. Statements B, C, and E instead concern publicity, classification, or private profit, none of which is a participant-protection principle.
Contrast
A, B and C only combines protection from harm with publicity and social-strata classification.
B, C and D only combines publicity and social-strata classification with privacy protection.
A, C and E only combines harm prevention with classification and private use of personal information.
A and D only contains the two participant-centred safeguards: protection from harm and protection of privacy.
Result
Therefore, the ethical aspects identified in the list are A and D only.
