The example that best fits the philosophical idea of utilitarianism is: "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few." Utilitarianism is a moral theory that suggests that the best action is the one that maximizes overall happiness or well-being for the greatest number of people. This example demonstrates the idea that the collective well-being of a larger group of individuals is more important than the well-being of a smaller group.
