Corruption means the use of power for personal gain.

Option A

Explanation:

Corruption means providing any kind of benefits which can be materialistic or anything that is desired in return. Such an act involves extortion, accepting bribes for doing favors by inviting financial benefits for oneself who is in a powerful position.

This creates injustice to the generous and honest people and creates proactive circumstances for corrupt people who use money power to overthrow the others below them. The most affected is the common man when the corruption is widespread politically at government offices, by officials at positions of responsibility and private spaces as well, where richer people tend to injure inferior masses.
