The ICF Code of Ethics organizes standards under headings like "Responsibility to Clients" (Section 1). Confidentiality is explicitly addressed in Section 4 ("Confidentiality/Privacy"), which falls under this responsibility, ensuring client trust and autonomy. Let’s assess:
A. Responsibility to clients: Section 4.1 requires coaches to "maintain the strictest levels of confidentiality," directly tying this to client responsibility.
B. Responsibility to society: This (Section 5) focuses on broader impact, not confidentiality.
C. Responsibility to professionalism: This (Section 3) addresses conflicts of interest, not privacy.
D. Responsibility: This is incomplete; ICF uses specific categories, and confidentiality aligns with clients.
Option A is the ethical standard honored, per ICF’s structure.
