Answer:

B) rampant corruption

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Transparency International 2019 corruption index report, India has a total transparency score of 41/100. That means that India is located at the 80th spot out of 180 countries surveyed. It is not the worst possible score, but it is not a good place.

You could even say that India is classified as a very corrupt nation and besides the ethical concerns regarding corruption, American corporations also have legal concerns. The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act makes it illegal to bribe foreign officials, so by operating in India, American companies and expats risk going to jail besides paying severe fines.
