This question was previously asked in
MH SET 2025 Paper 2 Sociology Question Paper (15-Jun-2025)
The correct answer is

Plagiarism

Using the words, ideas, data or expressions of another person and presenting them as one's own, without giving credit to the original source, is treated as an academic and ethical offence known as plagiarism.

It violates norms of intellectual honesty and infringes the moral rights of the original creator, and it is detected today with tools like Turnitin, Ouriginal and iThenticate.

Copyright is the bundle of statutory rights granted to a creator over an original work; Citation is the formal act of acknowledging a source; and Index is a systematic list of terms pointing to locations in a document.

None of these three describes the wrongful appropriation itself, which is a specific ethical violation.

Hence, Plagiarism.
