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

B$.$ demand a corporate social audit

C$.$ remain silent and do your job

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

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