Answer options

• A. Physical theft
• B. Copyright infringement
• C. Industrial espionage
• D. Denial of Service attacks

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Industrial espionage, as it is a common issue in corporate environments where companies steal trade secrets or proprietary information from competitors. Physical theft is less relevant in the context of corporate crime, and copyright infringement, while significant, does not occur as frequently in corporate settings as industrial espionage. Denial of Service attacks are more related to cybersecurity threats rather than white-collar crimes.
