Sophia has $10,000$ units of a product that has turned out to be defective. She wants her business to be a success, and getting rid of all that product would seriously affect her bottom line. She decides to sell the defective product anyway. Sophia's decision is an example of perhaps the most common reason that ethical problems occur in business, which is:

a$.$ an overemphasis on long$-$run profit maximization.

b$.$ an underemphasis on long run profit maximization.

c$.$ an overemphasis on short$-$run profit maximization.

d$.$ an underemphasis on short$-$run profit maximization.
