Consider the following scenario:

Kate, a server at a fast food restaurant called Blake$$s Burgers, is one of these workers. In the past, her bosses encouraged her to take the day off when she was sick, because coming in would put the health of her coworkers and customers at risk. Recently, however, the company cut her hours, and Kate could no longer afford to take a day off without pay. A few months after the company cut her hours, Kate caught the flu and was unsure what to do$.$ According to the harm principle Kate should:

A $-$ assess her financial situation. If it will cause her harm to take the days off of work, she should report.

B $-$ go to work so that she can provide for herself and her family. To stay home would harm the family.

C $-$ stay home because she poses a sufficient threat to the well$-$being of others.

D $-$ go to work but interact with her coworkers and not customers so as to minimize the harms.
