The correct answer is B. Prostitution.
Victimless crimes are often defined as offenses that do not directly harm another individual, where the individuals involved can be seen as consenting to the act. In the case of prostitution, while it is illegal in many places, proponents argue that it involves consenting adults and thus could be labeled as a victimless crime, as there is no clear victim other than the societal norms that may be challenged by the act.
