The correct answer is: d. Casuist ethical theory

Explanation:

The casuist ethicat theory approaches moral problems by identifying particularities from a specific case and then reapplying them to a new case or ethical dilemma. It focuses on practical decision-making, based on precedents and aims to identify not only similarities between cases but also differences.
