Solution

The correct option is D whistle blowing
A whistle-blower is a person who publicly complains about concealed misconduct on the part of an organization or a body of people, usually from within that same organisation. This misconduct may be classified in many ways, for example, a violation of a law, rule, regulation and/or a direct threat to the public interest, such as fraud, health/safety violations, and corruption.

Whistle-blowers frequently the face retaliation - sometimes from the organisation or the group which they have accused of, unless a system is in place that would ensure confidentiality. In addition, people are more likely to take action with respect to unacceptable behavior within an organization, if there are complaint systems that ensure confidentiality and indemnity.
