I believe the answer is: e. a violation involves a serious breach of the code of ethics that results in a client being harmed.

For example, when a doctor is handling a certain patient, being asking various inappropriate questions about the patient's personal life is considered as boundary crossing. Selling the patient's data to another person is considered as violation.
