Final answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The student asked, "Human traffickers are:" and the correct answer is B. engaged in the illegal transportation and/or trade of people. Human trafficking involves the recruitment, transportation, transfer, and/or harboring of persons by means of threat or use of force or coercion for the purpose of exploitation. This can include sexual slavery, forced labor, or modern slavery, and affects millions of people worldwide including women, men, and children.
It is not accurate to assert that all human traffickers are of a certain age group or that they are universally branded or tattooed with a specific number. Traffickers come from a variety of backgrounds and are not easily categorized by such characteristics. Furthermore, victims of trafficking can be found globally, not just in specific regions or countries, and they may be victimized in various ways, such as through forced marriages, labor, or sexual exploitation.
