Suhana is down with fever. So she decided not to go to school tomorrow. Next day, in the evening she called up her classmate, Shaurya and enquired about the computer class. She also requested him to explain the concept. Shaurya said, "Mam taught us how to use tuples in python". Further, he generously said, "Give me some time, I will email you the material which will help you to understand tuples in python". Shaurya quickly downloaded a 2-minute clip from the Internet explaining the concept of tuples in python. Using video editor, he added the text "Prepared by Shaurya" in the downloaded video clip.

Explanation
Option (C) Copyright infringement is correct. Shaurya downloaded a video clip from the Internet which is someone else's creation. By adding the text 'Prepared by Shaurya' to the downloaded video, he is falsely claiming authorship of someone else's work. This amounts to copyright infringement because he is using copyrighted material without permission and passing it off as his own creation. This is not fair use as he is not using the content for educational purposes in an acceptable manner; instead, he is misrepresenting the original work as his own. It is not hacking as he did not gain unauthorized access to any system, and while it could be considered a cyber crime, copyright infringement is the most specific and accurate classification for this act.
