What is promising or offering money to a witness or a public officer to influence his action or testimony known as?

Fraud
Bribery
Embezzlement
Extortion

The correct answer is: Bribery

Bribery is the correct answer because it refers to the act of offering money to a witness or a public officer in order to influence their actions or testimony. This is a form of corruption and is considered illegal in most countries. Option A, Fraud, refers to deceiving or misleading someone for personal gain, and does not specifically involve influencing a witness or public officer. Option C, Embezzlement, is the act of stealing or misusing funds that have been entrusted to one's care and does not involve offering money to someone. Option D, Extortion, is the act of getting something, usually money, through force or threats, rather than through offering money. None of these options accurately describe the act of offering money to influence a witness or public officer.
