Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The act described in the question is a clear example of espionage, which is defined as the act of gathering or attempting to gather information for the purpose of harming a nation or helping a foreign country. This crime is especially serious during times of peace, as it undermines national security and can potentially lead to harm to citizens and the country as a whole. Sedition refers to actions that promote rebellion or resistance against a government, while terrorism and sabotage involve violent or destructive actions aimed at causing harm or disruption. None of these crimes fit the description given in the question as closely as espionage.
