Answer:

b. A moral issue

Explanation:

The real issue of Ben in the paragraph quoted above is a moral issue as these are the moral beliefs of Ben of being a pacifist. So, the correct option for the statement is A.

Moral issue is referred to as an issue which is attached to the moral beliefs of a person concerned due to the circumstances happening in the life of such person.

  • In the above example, Ben is considered to be a pacifist who is a person who hates or is reluctant in getting involved in any kinds of wars or physically harming activities.

  • Ben is surrounded in a situation where his employer relates that a novel modification of the equipment will be applicable to military submarines which are involved in the war and attacks.

  • However, the military submarines are not related to unnecessary wars generally as they are a part of a nation's defense tactics. Defense tactics are a part of war but not in the first place.

So, the issue of Ben in not getting involved for such novel modifications to the military submarines is a part of his own moral issues and the correct option is A.
