The correct answer is the last option: goes too far and not every situation can be approached relying on home-country standards.

Explanation:

To begin with, the righteous moralist approach to ethics refers to the belief, that the standards of ethics from a multinational's home-country are the appropiate ones to implement in companies from foreign countries, therefore that this model is very associated with managers from developed nations. Moreover, the biggest criticism to that model is that it goes too far and it does not consider that not every situation can be approached relying on home-country standards due to the fact that every nation is different and the companies in them can not imitate the standards used in the other ones.
