I'm going with B. Can't have sustainability without considering the economic, ethical, and environmental factors. No need to resort to fraud or bribery, though. That's just bad business.

D, really? Fraud, bribery, and corruption? That's the opposite of sustainable! I hope Polygon Incorporated doesn't consider that option.

A, B, and C all sound like good options to consider for developing sustainable business practices. I'm leaning towards A - people, profit, and planet.
