Answer: The correct answer is : Conflict of Interest

Explanation: A person incurs a conflict of interest when he does not comply with what is due but makes decisions or acts for the benefit of himself or a third party. An agent is a person who acts for another person. An agent with his principal must take care of him, he must provide information, he must obey the instructions and he owes him loyalty.
