What is plagiarism ?
Answer: B
Plagiarism is taking someone else's words or ideas and passing them off as one's own.
In journalism it covers copying another reporter's work, lifting quotations or passages without credit, and reusing a rival publication's scoop as if it were original reporting. It is a breach of honesty towards readers and of the original author's rights.
The other options are different ethical breaches. Making up quotations or sources is fabrication. Pretending to be someone other than a reporter is misrepresentation or deception in newsgathering. Accepting gifts or bribes from sources is a conflict of interest and corruption. All are serious, but none is plagiarism.
