    Answer: Option (A)

    Explanation:

    A Ponzi scheme is referred to as or known as a type/form of a fraud that tends to bait investors and thus pays high profits to the earlier investors with the funds gained or received from recent investors. This scheme tends to lead its victims and other individuals to perceive that these profits are collected from the sales or via other means, thus they tend to remain completely unaware that the investors after them are reason of these funds.
