Question

The traditional crime of embezzlement by low-level employees has been replaced by: a. thefts masterminded by outsiders. b. low-level employees engaging in stock fraud. c. company owners building up companies and selling them to the highest bidder with consequent job loss. d. mismanagement and looting by upper-level management.

Answer 1

B. Low-level employees engaging in stock fraud

Step-by-step explanation:

A: The reason A is an incorrect option is because the question specifically refers to employees of the company. Meaning that interference by outsiders does not count as embezzlement.

C: This option is incorrect because this option involves company owners, which does not refer to low-level employees, and therefore is incorrect.

D: Also does not refer to low-level employees due to the referencing to upper-level management.
