explanation:

first, let's define each choice:

corporate crime: in criminology, corporate crime refers to crimes committed either by a corporation, or by individuals acting on behalf of a corporation or other business entity. some negative behaviours by corporations may not actually be criminal; laws vary between jurisdictions.

hate crime: a hate crime is a prejudice-motivated crime which occurs when a perpetrator targets a victim because of his or her membership in a certain social group or race.

racial crime: a hate crime is a prejudice-motivated crime which occurs when a perpetrator targets a victim because of his or her membership in a certain social group or race

organized crime: a category of transnational, national, or local groupings of highly centralized enterprises run by criminals who intend to engage in illegal activity, most commonly for money and profit. some criminal organizations, such as terrorist groups, are politically motivated.

white-collar crime: refers to financially motivated, nonviolent crime committed by business and government professionals. within criminology, it was first defined by sociologist edwin sutherland in 1939 as "a crime committed by a person of respectability and high social status in the course of his occupation"
