The example that best fits the concept of utilitarianism is "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few." Utilitarianism is a consequentialist ethical theory that considers the outcome or consequences of actions as the primary determinant of their morality. According to utilitarianism, an action is morally right if it maximizes overall happiness or pleasure for the greatest number of people. In this example, the emphasis is on prioritizing the well-being and needs of the larger population over the needs or interests of a smaller group. It reflects the utilitarian principle of maximizing overall happiness or utility for the greatest number of individuals.
