Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

A is wrong because you can change a few words and still have it be plagerism. C is wrong because it's still considered plagerism. D is wrong because it is also still considered plagerism.

B is right because you can say the same thing as someone else without meaning to, i'm sure youve done a similar thing before.
