    Answer: C

    Conversion

    Explanation:

    Conversion is often defined as other interference of a person's right to property without the owner's consent and without lawful justification. Stevenson v. Economy Bank of Ambridge, 413 Pa. 442 (Pa. 1964). Elias is guilty of tort by virtue of the fact that he accessed the property of Data Corporation without any consent to do such and as such is liable to liabilities arising from his actions. The action he carried out was deliberate and must answer for damages in a civil lawsuit.

    Answer: c. Conversion

    Explanation: Elias is most likely liable for the tort of conversion. A tort is a wrongful act, whether intentional or negligent, which causes an injury and can be remedied in civil court, usually through the awarding of damages. Tort of conversion under common law is the wrongful act of the taking of someone's or an organization's personal property with intent to permanently deprive them of it, or damaging property to the extent that the owner is deprived of the utility of that property, thus making the tortfeasor (in this case, Elias) liable for the entire value of the property.
