Answer

Answer:

C. Deontology

Brief Explanations:

Deontology focuses on following moral rules and duties. John believes in not lying (a moral rule) and decides to tell his supervisor about the loophole as it aligns with his sense of duty to be honest, regardless of the consequences for Jane. Virtue Ethics emphasizes character traits, Utilitarianism looks at overall consequences for the greatest number, and Just Consequentialism is about just consequences, but John's decision is most based on rule - following which is key in Deontology.
