    The correct option is (b)

    Explanation:

    Romance fraud is tricking somebody by pretending to have romantic relations with the victim, gaining their confidence and finally committing fraud based on goodwill earned.

    Wire fraud is seeking money from somebody fraudulently through wire transactions.

    In this case, Sam has committed both romance and wire fraud as he befriended Poppy with malign intentions of gaining money from her. He received money through wire transaction and committed wire fraud as he never communicated to her after he received money.
