Answer:

B. Integrity

Explanation:

Integrity in business represents the virtue of honesty, consistency and adherence to one's strong principles of value, morality and ethical principles. Integrity is rooted in being truthful consistency and and to stand by the truth irrespective of the cost.

Kelly believes that the numbers of the noncollectable accounts receivables are correct and that is the true state of the values.
