Answer:

when a person’s morals require taking two or more conflicting actions.

Step-by-step explanation:

A moral dilemma is an ethical paradox in which a person´s axiological values present him or her with two options of a conflicting or exclusive nature where both demand satisfaction; that is to say, a person encounters a moment of choice in which he is forced to choose between two options, both of them being moral imperatives, but the person cannot choose one without failing the other.
