Which term describes selling and transporting people as slaves; known as modern day slavery?

• A. Human Smuggling
• B. Forced Labor
• C. Organ Harvesting
• D. Human Trafficking

Answer: (D)

This item tests your understanding of human trafficking as modern slavery. Human trafficking is the recruitment, transport, transfer, harboring, or receipt of people through coercion, fraud, or force for the purpose of exploitation, such as forced labor or sexual exploitation. It describes a situation where individuals are treated as commodities and controlled by traffickers, not simply moving across borders.

Selling and transporting people as slaves fits this term because it involves exploiting others through coercion and control for profit. The other terms fit different ideas: human smuggling focuses on illegal border crossing with the person’s consent, not ongoing exploitation after arrival; forced labor describes a form of exploitation but is not the umbrella crime itself; organ harvesting relates to illegal removal of organs and is a different criminal act.
