The options are given below:

A) usurping a corporate opportunity

B) self-dealing

C) competing with the corporation

D) proxy

The correct option is B. Self-dealing.

Explanation:

Self-dealing is a phenomenon whereby a fiduciary acts in his/her own best interests in a transaction rather than in the best interest of his/her clients. It is a representation of a conflict of interest and is considered an illegal act, which can lead to litigation, penalties, and termination of employment of those involved.

An example of self-dealing is given in the question above, another example is when an officer in a company would only award a contract to a vendor based on the condition that the vendor must provide an internship to the officer's son.

In summary therefore, self-dealing generally involves an individual benefiting — or attempting to benefit — from a transaction that is being executed on behalf of another party.
