    Answer: Conformity

    Explanation: Ethics trap refers to the situation in which an individual finds difficult to assess what is morally correct for him or her and what is not.

    Conformity refers to the ability of an individual to match the customs and beliefs of a group to mingle with that particular group.

    In the given case, Jamal has been working in the company where all the members have been cheating on their accounts except for him. This urges Jamal to do the same for being a part of group.

    Hence we can conclude that the correct option is C.
