Solution

The correct answer is a corporate crime. This term refers to crimes committed either by a corporation (i.e., a business entity having a separate legal personality from the natural persons that manage its activities), or by individuals acting on behalf of a corporation or other business entity. Some negative behaviors by corporations may not actually be criminal; laws vary between jurisdictions. For example, some jurisdictions allow corporations to be prosecuted for manslaughter or other criminal offenses.
