Answer 1

Answer;

B. plagiarism

Step-by-step explanation:

This scenario is an example of plagiarism. Peter did not get consent from the photographer that took the photo for “his” book cover, nor did he notify or console the photographer for their approval. Peter is stealing something that isn’t his and is claiming it as his own. This is considered plagiarism.

Plagiarism
