What refers to misbehavior that undermines the public trust?

Defamation
Fraud
Libel
Corruption

The correct answer is: Corruption

Corruption refers to the misuse of power or authority for personal gain or to cause harm to others. In this case, it undermines the public trust because those in positions of power are not acting in the best interest of the public. Defamation, fraud, and libel may also involve deceit or harm towards others, but they do not necessarily involve a misuse of power or authority. Therefore, they do not directly refer to misbehavior that undermines the public trust.
