Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Self-determination means the researcher informed subjects about the study, allowed them to choose whether or not to participate, and allowed them to withdraw from the study at any time without penalty.
Confidentiality protects subject's privacy.
Freedom from harm ensures that the subjects will not be hurt in any way (physically, psychologically, etc).
The principle of justice states that human subjects should be treated fairly in terms of the benefits and the risks of research.
