Explanation
'Amoral' means lacking moral sense or unconcerned with right and wrong — distinct from 'immoral', which means morally wrong. In (d), conduct in the ruthless pursuit of victory at all costs is precisely conduct unconstrained by morality. Options (a) and (c) confuse amoral with immoral, since murder and cheating are immoral acts. Only (d) captures the true sense.
