Final answer:
Plagiarism (option B) is the correct answer as it specifically refers to the use of another's ideas or inventions for one's own benefit without giving proper credit.
Step-by-step explanation:
The act of stealing someone's idea or invention for personal benefit is referred to as plagiarism. Plagiarism involves taking credit for someone else's work or creativity without proper acknowledgment, whether it's the wording, ideas, or both. Intellectual property rights on the other hand, such as patents and copyrights, are legal protections that ensure the creators of original works can enjoy the exclusive benefits of their creations. When someone violates these rights by using others' work without permission, it is also a form of plagiarism. However, piracy specifically refers to the illegal copying and distribution of software, music, videos, and other protected works.
