Answer: (B)

Professional conduct in SkillsUSA centers on reliability and respect in the workplace and at events. Demonstrating reliability by timely attendance shows you value others’ time, fulfill commitments, and can be trusted to participate and contribute. Arriving late disrupts meetings and signals unreliability; wearing casual attire at formal events shows a lack of respect for the setting and expectations; ignoring deadlines undermines teamwork and progress. Being on time embodies professional habits that support teamwork, credibility, and alignment with SkillsUSA’s emphasis on career readiness and leadership.
