Which noun describes corruption, especially through bribery?

• A. Infelicitous
• B. Bastardization
• C. Graft
• D. Chauvinism

Answer: (C)

Describing corruption tied to bribery. Graft is the term for corruption, especially in politics, where someone in a position of power accepts bribes or kickbacks in exchange for favors. It captures the idea of personal gain from official actions. Infelicitous means unfortunate or inopportune, not a term for corruption. Bastardization refers to something being corrupted or degraded in quality, but not specifically bribery. Chauvinism is excessive bias or patriotism toward one’s own group, unrelated to corruption.
