I'm not sure if I agree. I believe C) I and III might be more applicable because wrongful acts and long-term consequences are significant considerations in cases of sexual harassment.

I see your point, Reuben. It's a tough question, but I think I'll go with B) I, II, and III as well.

I also think B) I, II, and III could be relevant because having a concern for long-term consequences might also be important in addressing sexual harassment issues.
