Answer: A - There are two subgroups of utilitarian theory. Act utilitarians examine a situation and determine which course of action will bring about the greatest happiness or least harm and suffering to an individual. Rule utilitarians search for the greatest happiness and seek public agreement to define the nature of happiness. An action is considered right if it conforms to a rule. The rule should have positive results in a wide range of situations.
