A description of someone who remains faithful to commitments and acts with fairness and courtesy is an example of:

• A. Professional ethics
• B. Loyalty
• C. Rivalry
• D. Indifference

Answer: (B)

Loyalty is the quality described—the faithfulness to commitments and fair, courteous behavior toward others. Being loyal means you’re reliable and true to your word, you honor obligations, and you treat people with respect as you follow through on promises. While professional ethics covers broader standards for behavior in work, this description zeroes in on staying faithful to what you’ve agreed to and interacting with others fairly, which fits loyalty best. Rivalry implies competition or hostility, and indifference means a lack of concern, both of which don’t align with the idea of faithful, courteous commitment.
