Answer:

B) ethical dilemma

Explanation:

An ethical dilemma is a decision making problem between two moral or ethical reasons:

Jake wants to maintain Macho Doors' reputation of building high quality, long-lasting doors (very good and ethical business decision) vs making enough profit to give his employees' a raise (another very good and ethical decision).

Whatever decision Jake makes, he will be right and wrong at the same time, since both moral reasons are very good and valuable, but they are also mutually exclusive.
