Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Correct answer: Losing of the obtained titles and Destroying the public image.
Loss of titles or positions: Institutions may revoke degrees, awards, or professional positions when plagiarism is proven, leading to loss of obtained titles and formal standing.
Damage to reputation: Public exposure of plagiarism harms a researcher’s credibility and future opportunities, effectively destroying public image and trust.
Why the other statements are not correct: "Losing of the Inspiration" is not a standard institutional or formal consequence of plagiarism (it is a personal, psychological effect at best), and "Destruction of obtained solutions" is vague and not a recognized outcome; plagiarism primarily leads to sanctions and reputational harm.
