Read the following scenario and answer the three questions that follow.
The occasion was a hyper publicised switch-on ceremony of solar power facilities on an island, with many villages, in the Bay of Bengal. PK was the brand ambassador of a Multinational Company (MNC) that was banking heavily on this CSR initiative to strengthen its presence in India. For the millions of fans, enamoured by the aging super star’s Robinhood like onscreen exploits, the pre-event speech of PK was their first glimpse into his off-screen persona. After an emotional speech that extolled the virtues of electricity as a driver of wellbeing & need for inclusive growth, PK with a flourish of his hand hit the button to remotely switch on the solar power facilities. Tens of media cameras stationed in all the island villages, started beaming live feed across the world. Quickly, the event turned from one of joy to something of shock and horror, as all the thatched households on the island caught fire. A few villagers were seriously injured in the fire. Watching the coverage, PK slapped the MNC representative standing next to him, on live camera, and collapsed on a couch with his head in his hands.
Soon after, the MNC filed a case against PK for criminal assault and tarnishing its brand image.
Which of the following is the MOST appropriate reason for the MNC to file a case against PK?
Option A: This is a very appropriate reason to file a case against PK as it shows the affirmation of their image and their intolerant attitude towards such behaviours.
Option B: This helpless attitude will not trade well with the stakeholders.
Option C: Filing a lawsuit against PK won't help their case with their dropping sales.
Option D: This action has the potential to further exacerbate their public image regarding the incident.
Option E: This option will also be discarded for a similar reason as option 4.
Thus, the correct option is A.
