Answer: The correct answer is Bribery.

Step-by-step explanation:

The scenario exposes a possible ezample of the crime of bribery, when a person makes someone do something by giving money, as if a person is "buying" another one. Fraud is an intentional deception to secure gain, forgery involves a false making or alteration in order to get benefits, extortion occurs through intimidation to get money or property advantages over another person and embezzlement, usually, involves a theft of assets by its holder.
