Discussion
The term refers to the destruction or alteration of evidence or the failure to preserve property as evidence in pending or potential litigation :
Answer: C
The term is spoliation (printed in the paper as 'Spoilation').
Spoliation of evidence is the legal term for destroying, altering or failing to preserve evidence that is relevant to pending or reasonably foreseeable litigation. Courts can respond with sanctions, including an adverse inference that the lost evidence would have harmed the party responsible.
Plundering means looting. Destruction is only one form of spoliation and does not cover alteration or failure to preserve. Despoiling means stripping something of its value; neither of these is the legal term the definition describes.
