Answer:

It is Conflict of interest. (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

A conflict of interest arises when what is in a person’s best interest is not in the best interest of another person or organization to which that individual owes loyalty.

For example, Azim is helping himself here but simultaneously hurting his employer by agreeing to give out his current employer young designer's drawings to a close competitor.

A conflict of interest exists when a person must answer to two different individuals or groups whose needs are at odds with each other. In this case, serving one individual or group will injure the other.
