Answer:

The options for this question are the following:

a. a legitimate business tactic.

b. duress.

c. fraud.

d. undue influence.

The correct answer is b. duress.

Step-by-step explanation:

Coercion is a crime against the freedom of persons that involves using violence to prevent a person (the taxable person from the crime) from doing something that is not prohibited by law, or performing a behavior against his will.

The violence used in this crime, not only refers to a physical force, but also to a psychological or moral violence such as personal intimidation, as well as the use of force in things.
