Which standard prohibits accepting gratuities?

This question tests recognizing a standard that directly addresses gifts and gratuities. Accepting gratuities can create a conflict of interest and undermine public trust, so there is a specific rule to refuse gratuities. That makes the standard named Refusing Gratuity the best fit. The other standards cover broader principles—Integrity, Honesty, and Competency; Confidentiality; and Duty to Follow Orders and Instructions—but none of them specifically prohibit accepting gratuities, so they don’t address this issue as directly.
