C. The best outcome for the majority of people.

Utilitarianism is an ethical theory that suggests actions are right if they benefit the majority of people. It is often summarized as "the greatest happiness for the greatest number." This principle is central to utilitarianism and guides decision-making in various fields, including management, where it can be used to evaluate the ethical implications of decisions based on their impact on the majority of stakeholders.

Utilitarianism is a moral principle that advocates choosing the course of action that maximizes utility or overall happiness and minimizes negative consequences for everyone involved. It emphasizes the importance of considering the impact of actions on the well-being of society as a whole, rather than just individuals or specific groups.

While utilitarianism aims to maximize positive outcomes, it specifically focuses on achieving the "least worst outcome for everybody," which means minimizing negative impacts and ensuring the greatest good for the greatest number. This approach recognizes that in many situations, it may not be possible to achieve optimal outcomes for everyone, so the goal is to find the best possible balance that minimizes harm and maximizes overall benefit.

Option A, "Equality for everyone," is not the defining principle of utilitarianism, as utilitarianism focuses on maximizing overall happiness rather than strictly ensuring equality.

Option B, "Maximisation of outcomes for individuals," is too narrow, as utilitarianism considers the well-being of society as a whole, not just individuals.

Option C, "The best outcome for the majority of people," is closer to utilitarianism's goal but does not fully capture its emphasis on minimizing negative outcomes for everyone. Utilitarianism aims to find the best possible balance for society overall, not just the majority.
