Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Paralegals are not directly governed by rules that apply to attorneys, but their actions can impact attorneys, clients, and themselves due to the supervisory role attorneys have over paralegals. Thus, all listed parties could be affected by a paralegal's violation of attorney rules.
