Scenario:

The chairman of the board of directors advises the CEO to terminate a line manager due to loss of confidence. The chairman believes the line manager concealed information related to a recent harassment allegation made by one of the line manager's direct reports. The CEO instructs the HR manager to terminate the line manager immediately. The HR manager believes that firing the line manager without an investigation will put the organization in a risky legal position. However, the HR manager does not want to be cited for insubordination. The HR manager informs the CEO of the legal risk of terminating the line manager without cause.

1. The CEO is unwilling to communicate the HR manager's concerns to the board because the CEO believes that the chairman will ask for the CEO's resignation if the chairman's request is not carried out. What should the HR manager do?

A. Ask the CEO to reconsider the request to present the HR manager's concern to the board.

B. Ask why the CEO believes the chairman will ask for the CEO's resignation.

C. Conduct a risk assessment of the proposed action of terminating the line manager.

D. Report the CEO to the board for refusing to address an issue that impacts the organization's legal standing.

情境给出四个人物，其中HR Manager就是本题答题的角色：

公司董事长想让CEO解雇一个直线经理，因为认为直线经理隐瞒了一项来自下属的骚扰指控。CEO向人事经理下达指令，要求马上开除直线经理。

人事经理认为没有调查清楚情况就盲目开除直线经理，会给公司带来法律风险。但是人事经理不想背上“不服从上级命令”的名声，于是人事经理向CEO说明了“无故解雇员工”的风险。

CEO不是很想跟人事经理沟通，因为他怕如果不马上开除直线经理，到时候被开除的就是CEO，那么这个时候人事经理应该怎么做？

题目给出了4个选项，大致意思如下：

A. 让CEO考虑下把人事经理的担忧放到董事会上讨论

B. 询问CEO为什么认为董事长会开除CEO

C. 针对解雇直线经理的举动进行风险评估分析

D. 向董事会汇报称CEO不顾公司的风险
