There was an advertising placard placed beside the Ionic Breeze Purifier 5000, which, worked by silent electronic propulsion, circulating air with no motor.

A. Is probably unethical because he must tell the whole truth about the product or service being advertised, even if doing so will disclose unflattering features about their client's product or service.

B. Is probably not unethical, as they put his product in the best light consistent with the truth, even if it was not the whole truth.

C. Is probably not unethical because there was nothing he said that would have offended the most sensitive 15% of the advertising audience.

D. Is probably unethical because he must tell the whole truth in advertising about a product or service aimed at an especially vulnerable audiance, such as children or the elderly.
