Explanation:

Other scientific fields also have ethical codes, so the first option is incorrect. Dues revenue is unrelated to ethical codes, eliminating the second. The code guides researchers, not subjects, so the third is wrong. The core purpose of the ASA ethics code is to uphold research standards like objectivity, integrity, and subject confidentiality.

Answer:

O to encourage sociologists to maintain objectivity, integrity, and the confidentiality of their subjects
