Answer:
B) Economic espionage
Step-by-step explanation:
The Economic Espionage Act of 1996 establishes very severe penalties for anyone found guilty of misappropriating trade secrets related to a product that is produced for or placed in interstate or foreign commerce to the economic benefit of anyone other than the owner.
The penalties start with a fine (up to $10 million) and up to 25 years in prison. The fines depends on the type of trade secret stolen and would the crime benefit. If the stolen secret was meant to be sold to foreign organizations the penalties are much higher than those involving only domestic organizations.
The damaged party can also seek compensation through a civil court, so the total economic penalty can be much higher.
