The answer I found on the internet is Letter B - Corruption.

Corruption is used to describe government officials who use their office to gain wealth and power for themselves instead of serving the public. Forms of corruption vary but include bribery, extortion, cronyism, nepotism, parochialism, patronage, influence peddling, graft, and embezzlement.
