The correct answer is: a. A salesperson must not do anything that makes a dealer break the Code of Ethics.

A salesperson must not do anything that makes a dealer break the Code of Ethics because it reflects the responsibilities and ethical obligations that individuals in the automotive sales profession have towards maintaining integrity within their roles. The Code of Ethics is designed to ensure fair and transparent dealings in the marketplace. A salesperson plays a crucial role in upholding this standard; their actions should align with the ethical guidelines to ensure that their conduct does not place undue pressure or influence on the dealer to act in a manner contradictory to these principles. This understanding is fundamental to fostering a trustworthy environment for both consumers and dealers. Adhering to these ethical standards not only promotes accountability but also protects the reputation of the industry as a whole. Recognizing the importance of this standard is critical for any salesperson, as it encourages a culture where ethical practices are prioritized, fostering long-term relationships with clients and other stakeholders.
