EXPLOITATION OF CHILD, ELDERLY INDIVIDUAL, OR DISABLED INDIVIDUAL

• A. Fraudulent Use or Possession of Identifying Information
• B. Unauthorized use of Telecomm. Services Felony 2
• C. Class A Misdemeanor
• D. EXPLOITATION OF CHILD, ELDERLY INDIVIDUAL, OR DISABLED INDIVIDUAL

Answer: (D)

This question focuses on recognizing a crime that explicitly targets vulnerable people—children, the elderly, or disabled individuals—and punishes those who take advantage of their vulnerability. The correct choice names that offense directly, which makes it the best fit because it specifically covers exploiting someone who needs care or protection for personal gain, a distinct and serious offense with its own elements.

In real-world terms, exploitation can involve misusing a vulnerable person’s funds, property, or services through deceit, coercion, or a breach of trust in a caregiving or guardianship relationship. The other options point to different crimes—identity information fraud, unauthorized telecom service use, or a general Class A misdemeanor—none of which center on exploiting a vulnerable person, so they don’t fit the scenario as precisely.
