Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Aristotle's theory of virtue ethics states that virtues are relative to the society or community in which the individual lives. This means that what is considered virtuous in one society may not necessarily be considered virtuous in another society. The virtues are also tied to the concept of eudaimonia, or human flourishing and happiness. Therefore, choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect Aristotle's theory of virtue ethics.
