A
cynical
💡 Explanation:
Cynical means concerned only with oneself, without moral principles, and believing people are motivated only by self-interest. The company's 'cynical exploitation' refers to their ruthless, self-serving exploitation of workers. Honest (opposite), suspicious (distrustful), and pessimistic (negative outlook) don't fit.
