Answer:

The front page test.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Front Page test is one of the ethical tests. This ethical test prompts a question that how would one feel if his/her deeds are printed on the front page of a newspaper. These questions help the person to make certain decisions and to come to conclusion if his.her deeds are ethical enough to be printed at the front page of the newspaper, that the news won't be a matter of embarrassment for the person or his/her family.

In the given case, Megan is considering the front page ethical test by asking herself if her act of 'skimming' money is ethical enough to be published at the front page of a newspaper and such an article won't be a matter of shame and embarrassment for her and her family.

Thus the correct answer is the front page test.
