D) rarely provide information of any value.
E) are not protected by any government regulations.


Answer: C
Explanation: C) Although some people think that whistleblowing involves "ratting on" colleagues or managers, it has an essential function. According to international business expert Alex MacBeath, "Whistleblowing can be an invaluable way to alert management to poor business practices within the workplace. Often whistleblowing can be the only way that information about issues such as rule breaking, criminal activity, cover-ups, and fraud can be brought to management's attention before serious damage is suffered."
