Myla Conrad · Answer 1

C) misrepresentation

Explanation:

Misrepresentation is the act or offense which gives the nature of something as false or a misleading account of it.

The aim of a fraudulent action is to deceive an innocent party into believing something has extreme worth (or is worthless), something that the offender knows is inaccurate. Rescission and/or real damage are the solutions for misrepresentation. The complainant may seek cancelation and damages for dishonest and malicious misrepresentation.
