A person who gives a public official money or property of any value in exchange for an agreement by the public official to do or refrain from doing something that is against or in contradiction to an official duty, is guilty of Bribery.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

People often tend to opt for an easy route to achieve or get what they want and doing so they indulge in illegal practises like bribery. When a person gives money or any sort of property to any government official to do or abstain from doing certain act which goes against his duties is called bribery.

A perfect example would be a builder gives money to a government official for passing his tender and giving him the government contract for construction of a building for the government. Bribery is an offence under the General Federal Bribery Statute.
