During a campus event, an advisor observes a student openly violating a minor university policy (e.g., prohibited use of an electronic device in a quiet study zone). The advisor is not in a direct supervisory role over the student. What is the most appropriate action for the advisor to take, prioritizing education and community standards?
✓ Correct Answer: Option B
For minor infractions, a gentle, discreet, and educational approach from an advisor fosters a culture of compliance and mutual respect without immediately resorting to punitive measures. This aligns with an advising philosophy of guidance.
