Solution

The correct option is B biopiracy
Infringement is violating the owner's exclusive rights to something tangible.

Biodegradation is the degradation of organic matter by microorganisms.

Bioexploitation is the excessive, unregulated use of natural resources for the commercial benefits.

Biopiracy covers the activities of developed nations who collect and exploit the bioresources in the developing nations. For example, a patent granted in USA which covers the entire 'basmati' rice germplasm that is indigenous to India.
