Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Virtue ethics focuses on the moral character of the individual and the virtues or moral qualities they embody, such as honesty, rather than on the rules or consequences of actions. Thus, in virtue ethics, lying is wrong primarily because it is a form of dishonesty, which is considered a vice.
