Answer:

The correct answer to the question given is D. Embezzlement

Explanation:

Embezzlement is the act of withholding assets to be held or used for specific purposes for the purpose of conversion (theft) of such assets by one or more persons to whom the assets have been entrusted.

Embezzlement is usually a premeditated crime, carried out methodically, with precautions that hide the criminal conversion of the property that occurs without the affected person's knowledge or consent.
