Answer: I will save my house.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a question on ethical dilemma. Ethical dilemma or moral dilemma refers to a situation whereby the individual stands between two moral conflicting situations but can only honor just one of the situations

Based on the situations given, I'll choose my own house. Given the scenario, there's really no real dilemma here as the welfare of my family and I are the most important. Every other thing comes after my own welfare.
