Answer:

Appropriation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The word Appropriation can be defined as an act of using something as own without prior permission of the actual owner of that thing. In law, appropriation is considered a tort that violates one's privacy. Under this violation, a defendant is accused of using the plaintiff's name, image, etc for commercial purpose with any prior information.

In the given case, the woman has the case for appropriation as the photographer used her photo for an advertisement purpose or newsworthy purpose. the photographer took the woman's permission to use in the collage at the Tampa event but he used it for newsworthy purposes, thus, falls under the case of appropriation.

So, the correct answer is appropriation.
