Respuesta :

A:the other options are examples of unethical behavior

Answer:

A. Jane submits a correction and retraction to the journal

Explanation:

People submit their study to a journal in order to validate their work from their peers and further the field in which they are in.

Jane would have submitted her work believing that her work was flawless and correct. But later she realizes that she had made a mistake in her work. There are two ways in which she can act.

One way is to not be concerned with the fact that her study is flawed. This may lead to the rejection of her work by her peers and be detremental to her reputation.

Another way is to take responsibility and submit her corrected work which would lead to the publication of an accurate study. This would further her field also. This way is the right course of action.
