  1. Taking as many game animals as possible

  2. Following the law, but only when being watched

  3. Respecting wildlife and the environment by following game laws and hunting fairly

The correct answer is: Respecting wildlife and the environment by following game laws and hunting fairly

Ethical hunting is a practice that involves respecting wildlife and the environment by adhering to hunting regulations and conducting oneself in a fair and responsible manner. Option A is incorrect because taking as many animals as possible goes against the principle of sustainability and conservation. Option B is incorrect because ethical hunting involves adhering to hunting laws at all times, not just when being watched. Option D is incorrect because ethical hunting includes using appropriate and legal hunting methods, not solely relying on high-powered firearms.
