B.Character excellences (Tugenden) and living well (eudaimonia)

A.The expected balance of pleasure/pain or preference satisfaction for those affected
B.Only the agent's private honor code

A.A contingent tip for maximizing profit this quarter
B.A universalizable form of practical reason binding moral agents
C.A preference ranking based only on local custom
D.A recipe for calculating hedonic units

B.A literal cloth covering courtroom windows

B.Real opportunities to achieve valued functionings (capabilities)
C.Only identical DNA sequences
