You're welcome.
Yes, you are correct. Option D, "All of the above," is considered plagiarism. Plagiarism is the act of presenting someone else's work, ideas, or words as your own without giving them proper credit. Let me explain the reasoning behind each option to lend further clarity:
A. Copying someone else's work: When you directly copy someone else's work, whether it's a passage, paragraph, or an entire piece of writing, and claim it as your own without proper attribution, it is plagiarism.
B. Using a statistic without giving credit to the source: Even when using facts, figures, or statistics from someone else's research or work, you must provide credit and acknowledge the original source. Failing to do so would constitute plagiarism.
C. Buying a pre-written essay from the internet and using it as your own: Purchasing a pre-written essay from the internet and submitting it as your own work is a clear instance of plagiarism because you are presenting someone else's work as your own without proper attribution.
Therefore, since all three options involve presenting someone else's work as your own without giving proper credit, the correct answer is D, "All of the above."
