DECA's guiding principles related to community state what?

• A. DECA members are community oriented, recognizing the benefit of service and responsibility to the community.
• B. DECA discourages community service.
• C. DECA focuses only on competitions.
• D. DECA's guiding principles do not address community.

Answer: (D)

The main idea is understanding what DECA’s guiding principles actually address. If the guiding principles are described as not addressing community, that means they set standards for members’ behavior, ethics, and leadership in business contexts, rather than listing community involvement as a formal guiding principle. Community service and involvement can be encouraged through DECA’s activities and programs, but they aren’t stated as a formal guiding-principle requirement. The other statements would imply that community is either a stated guiding principle, discouraged, or irrelevant to DECA, which isn’t the stance described by the option that the guiding principles do not address community.
