Make an announcement to the taxpayers in the waiting room to ignore Jim if he tries to sell them insurance.b. Tell the site coordinator what she heard, so he can immediately remove Jim from the site and report the incident using the external referral process by sending an email to [email protected].

Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the ethical way to go about it to help remove volunteers that violate the code.

Option A is wrong because jans action might result into a serious argument which is unethical.

Option c is wrong because ignoring Jim who is being pushy would eventually cause all tax payers available discomfort.
