Answer 1

The correct option is: both socially responsible and ethical.

Step-by-step explanation:

To begin with, the fact that the company sold customer data to a third party, even thought that it engaged in all the other activities as promised, it will make it to be both socially responsible and ethical and that is because in a court the judge will be in favour of the more weak party, that is the customer whose date was sold without his approval to a third party, and therefore that in social terms the company will be guilty. Also, that action will affect the company in terms of ethical because once that it is all known by the customers whose date was sold then they will start a campaign in order to destroy the company's ethical image by the public and that will cause a huge decrease in the sales.
