Is this action appropriate?

Avaya has established a branch in emerging markets in South Asia, where the general agent is negotiating with a businessman who has a certain social relationship and can enhance Avaya’s market share in the country. Without the approval of Avaya, the merchant proposed that the general agent made the payment of $ 1,000 USD to him in the name of Avaya.

Is this action appropriate?
A . Appropriate. Because it can be through the appropriate "bribery" to promote the conduct of things, and in many countries such acts do not violate the bribery law
B . Inappropriate. This is a violation of Avaya’s policy because it is done without the consent of Avaya
C . Not appropriate. The general agent violates Avaya’s anti-bribery policy

Answer: C
