Answer:

C. consequentialist

Step-by-step explanation:

Teleological Ethical Theories deals with the aftermath of actions I.e. the primary guidelines for our actions as either morally right or wrong relies on the good or evil results it produced.

The term Teleological is a Greek word telos, “end” and logos, “science”.

Consequentialism believes the results of one's actions are the ultimate reason for concluding on the rightness or wrongness of that action. A consequentialist views a morally right action on the good outcome or consequence that results from it.

Take for example, some view lying as wrong. But if telling a lie is necessary to redeem or save a person's life from certain situations, consequentialism holds the belief that it is the best thing to do.
