B.) Identity theft is the practice of an individual obtaining, typically through illegal means, the private information of another individual (i.e credit card numbers, SSN, etc.) The one with the stolen data will then exploit the information they have for their own gain.

Answer: B.an impostor illegally stealing personal data of an individual to impersonate as that person
