The act of trespassing or encroaching on the rights of another

• A. Interdependence
• B. Infringement
• C. Import
• D. Intellectual Property

Answer: (B)

Infringement is the act of violating or encroaching on someone else’s rights. The definition given—trespassing or encroaching on the rights of another—fits this term precisely, since infringement covers unauthorized intrusion into someone’s property or protected interests. The other terms describe different ideas: interdependence is mutual reliance, import is bringing goods into a country, and intellectual property refers to the rights themselves over creations, not the act of violating them.
