How is Mr. Marris's refusal to work with a student due to value clash viewed ethically?

Allowing personal biases to affect counseling practice.
Showing good judgment in recognizing ethical work boundaries.
Exhibiting respect for the student's beliefs by choosing not to work with them.
Confronting personal values for the student's benefit.

The correct answer is: Allowing personal biases to affect counseling practice.

Mr. Marris's refusal to work with a student due to a value clash is viewed ethically as allowing personal biases to affect counseling practice. This is because counselors are expected to remain unbiased and provide equal and ethical services to all clients, regardless of personal beliefs or values. Choosing not to work with a student based on a conflicting value can also lead to negative consequences and hinder the student's ability to receive proper counseling support. Option B and D may be seen as personal justifications for disregarding ethical standards, and option C may not address the issue of personal biases and professional responsibilities. Therefore, the most appropriate answer is A.
