Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bargain Bytes is taking wrongful interference with the business relationship of Cyber World by taking unethical steps to divert the customers. This can lead to losing business for Cyber World and hence can be considered as an unlawful act of interference. Appropriation refers to using someone's name or image for commercial purposes without their consent, intentional infliction of emotional distress refers to extreme and outrageous behavior that causes severe emotional distress, and conversion refers to intentionally taking someone's property without their consent. None of these apply in this scenario.
