Final answer:
The correct answer to the question is: B) an IMA Ethics Counselor.
Step-by-step explanation:
When faced with an ethical conflict concerning your direct supervisor, it is recommended to follow the established procedures within your organization. Typically, this would involve reporting the issue through internal channels before seeking external advice. While contacting a lawyer (an attorney) or taking the issue to public platforms like the local media could be potential steps if the internal processes fail, they are not generally the first step.
Instead, you should consult an IMA Ethics Counselor or follow your organization's whistleblowing policy which might involve reporting the issue to a higher authority within the company, such as the board of directors, depending on the nature and severity of the ethical conflict.
