Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Key idea: “Piracy” means the illegal copying or distribution of copyrighted material such as films.
The sentence describes illegally copying a movie without permission.
That act is specifically called piracy.
“Copying” is too general, and the other options do not express this specific offence.
Answer: Option 2, “piracy”, is correct.
