Answer options

• A. Determine which bodies will be involved in adjudication
• B. Decide if any enforcement actions are justified
• C. Adhere to its industry’s code of conduct
• D. Appeal decisions made against it

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as self-regulation allows a company to adhere to the established code of conduct within its industry, promoting ethical practices. Options A and D focus on decision-making processes that relate to legal proceedings rather than self-regulation, while option B misrepresents the role of self-regulation, which is about compliance rather than justification for enforcement actions.
