According to the Code of Ethics Regulations, what must all advertising be?

Limited to certain hours
Legal, decent, ethical, and truthful
Focused on discounts and sales
Reviewed by OMVIC before publication

The correct answer is: Legal, decent, ethical, and truthful

Advertising in business should describe something accurately and truthfully, which means that it should be legal, appropriate, ethical, and not misleading. This is to ensure that businesses are not taking advantage of consumers and that all information presented in ads is honest and fair. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not encompass all aspects of what advertising should be according to the Code of Ethics Regulations. While limiting advertising to certain hours may be beneficial for businesses, it is not a requirement stated in the regulations. Focusing solely on discounts and sales may also be seen as misleading if it does not accurately describe the product or service being advertised. Lastly, although OMVIC may have guidelines for advertising, it is not stated that all advertising must be reviewed by them before publication.
