Final answer:
The correct answer is A. Less than 25% of the time.
Step-by-step explanation:
Studies have shown that legal action against fraudsters is taken less than 25% of the time. This means that in the majority of cases, fraudsters are not held legally accountable for their actions.
Research has found that many types of statistical fraud are difficult to spot, and researchers may stop collecting data once they have enough to prove what they wanted to prove. This can contribute to a lack of legal action being taken against fraudsters.
