As a supervisor for a food processing company cleanup crew, you contact a reporter for a major news network and disclose unsafe food$-$handling practices that are condoned by your company. The company is a major advertiser on the station that hosts the news and was warned that there was a potentially damaging story in the works. The story is never aired, and upper management is aware that you are the source and has warned you to stay quiet. Your BEST course of action would be to

A$.$ agree to sign a nondisclosure agreement in exchange for a cash settlement

B$.$ remain silent and do your job

C$.$ demand a corporate social audit

D$.$ contact the company's ethics committee or a U$.$S$.$ government regulatory agency such as the USDA

E$.$ attempt to effect change in the corporate culture
