Final Answer : D, Explanation :  Veracity is the principle of truthfulness and honesty. When an intern is honest in his dealings with clients, he is adhering to this ethical principle. Beneficence refers to the obligation to do good, autonomy refers to respecting clients' rights to make their own decisions, and nonmaleficence refers to the obligation to avoid doing harm. While these principles are also important in helping professions, they do not directly apply to the situation described in the question.
