Answer options

• A. The defendant acted negligently.
• B. The principal suffered damages as a result of the bribe.
• C. The defendant gave or received a thing of value.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because to prove commercial bribery, it is essential to show that the principal incurred damages due to the bribe.
