Final answer:
Click fraud is not an example of identity theft; it is a deceptive practice involving advertisement clicks to generate or drain revenue, without involving the theft of personal identity.
Step-by-step explanation:
Of the options provided, click fraud is not an example of identity theft. Identity theft, sometimes known as "True-name Fraud", involves the wrongful acquisition and use of someone's personal identification, credit, or account information without their permission. Types of identity theft include shoulder surfing (where someone watches over your shoulder to obtain personal information), phishing (deceiving individuals into providing personal information), and purchase scams (using someone else's identity to make unauthorized purchases). On the other hand, click fraud refers to the deceptive practice of repeatedly clicking on an advertisement hosted on a website with the intent of generating revenue for the host website or draining revenue from the advertiser, which does not involve stealing a person's identity.
