C) Paying a bribe to a company executive in order to be awarded a contract.

Explanation:

Not only politicians or public officials are corrupt, in order for corruption to exist, there must be some private party willing to give a public servant something in exchange for an illegal favor.

During the past few years a huge corruption scandal was uncovered in Brazil, called the lavajato (car wash in English). The most important result was not only the billions of dollars recovered from public servants and politicians, but the fact that the owners and upper management of virtually all the largest Brazilian corporations were sent to jail as accomplices. It is not common that the richest people in a country are sent to jail.
