Explanation / Answer

Option (1) is correct.

The best ethical decision is to convene a meeting with Sam asking him to justify a new team led hiring in his allocated budget. In addition, position and stance taken by Sam regarding hiring his friend in order to get competitor information (which is a violation of ethical norms) must be clarified in open discussion with him.
