II.He must keep quiet and become a party to it.

1. Only I follows.
2. Only II follows.
3. Both I and II follow.
4. None of the above follow.

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : Only I follows.

Option 1; Only I follows. 

The statement states that an employee gets to know misappropriation of funds by a junior manager at an organization.

Course of action I suggests that he must in some way bring it to the notice of the senior authorities. As an employee, this action is in the best interest of the organization. Therefore, course of action I is logical and follows.

Course of action II suggests that he should remain silent about it and become a party to it. This is unethical and therefore, course of action II does not follow.

Hence, option 1 is correct.
