Respuesta :

You're answer should be B (as long as I have my definition to moral dilema correct)

Answer:

An example of a moral dilemma is:

B.

A character is faced with a decision requiring her to allow another’s death or sacrifice herself.

Explanation:

A moral dilemma is a concept used to call the conflict of a decision-making scenario when two moral imperatives are on the table. This is also called cognitive dissonance. But the thing is that the individual has to decide one above the other based on personal judgment however one decision makes the other immoral or a crime. Therefore, deciding on one's own death or someone else's is the moral dilemma here. The one about the robbery is not because the crime was already committed.
