Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The best approach is to establish a reputation of never engaging in sexual harassment. This can be done by always being respectful, avoiding any behavior or language that could be perceived as inappropriate, and treating all colleagues equally and professionally. This can help mitigate the risk of any false accusations being made against the individual. Announcing a monogamous relationship or heading a committee may not be relevant or effective in defending against false accusations in this context. Hiring a lawyer may be necessary in some cases, but it should not be the first line of defense.
