Explanation / Answer

a)Do not accept any of the gifts that go beyond legitimate business entertaining, even if your company would allow to accept such gifts.

In such a situation, I would not accept any of the gifts that go beyond business entertaining, even if my company would allow me to accept such gifts. As if I would accept any such gifts, I would automatically get biased towards that new supplier and it would be against my job responsibility to choose any of the supplier based on merits only.
