Choice C is the best answer. The third and fourth paragraphs of the passage present Adam Smith's and Aristotle's different approaches to defining ethics in economics. The fifth paragraph offers a third approach to defining ethical economics, how "instead of rooting ethics in character or the consequences of actions, we can focus on our actions themselves. From this perspective some things are right, some wrong" (lines 45-48,"There...right"). Choice A is incorrect because the fifth paragraph does not develop a counterargument. Choices B and D are incorrect because although "character" is briefly mentioned in the fifth paragraph, its relationship to ethics is examined in the fourth paragraph.
