What term describes the act of buying and selling people for labor or sex in modern times?

• A. Human Rights
• B. Discrimination
• C. Human Trafficking
• D. Aptitude Testing

Answer: (C)

The act described is human trafficking, which is the illegal and coerced recruitment, transportation, or receipt of people for the purpose of exploitation, such as forced labor or commercial sex. It involves using force, fraud, or abuse of vulnerability to control someone, and it can occur within a country or across borders. This term specifically names the crime of exploiting people for others' gain, making it the right choice because the others refer to broader concepts or tools rather than the act of exploitation itself. Human rights describes inherent rights all people have; discrimination means unfair treatment based on characteristics; aptitude testing is a method to assess ability. None of these capture the act of buying and selling people for labor or sex in the modern world.
