Which term refers to selfish utilization of someone's work or abuse to gain advantage?

• A. Expansion
• B. Exposition
• C. Exposure
• D. Exploitation

Answer: (D)

Exploitation describes the selfish use of someone else’s work or resources to gain an advantage, often through manipulation or unfair benefit. It implies taking advantage of another person’s effort, talent, or vulnerabilities without fair compensation or consent. In real-world terms, you might see exploitation in labor practices or when someone copies and profits from another’s creations without permission. The other terms don’t fit: expansion means increasing size or scope, not misusing someone’s work; exposition is about explaining information; exposure refers to being revealed or subjected to risk. So exploitation is the best fit because it specifically conveys taking unfair advantage of someone else’s work or abuse.
