Answer:b-Salami Slice Fraud

Step-by-step explanation:

Catherine's act of removing a small amount of money illegally for her own lavish experience is termed as Salami slice fraud or Penny shaving.

Salami slice fraud is a fraudulent act of stealing money or any valuable item often done by clandestine means to accomplish his/her goal. This is also associated with the online stealing of resources in small quantities to avoid any noticeable change in overall resources.
