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

Explanation: we can eliminate fair use because he is using it for the money not education and commercial use because Commercial Use is any use of the work that the contract contemplates or for which it is expected to be economically viable.
