Which of the following is NOT an example of bribery?

The choice indicating that giving gifts to a friend is not an example of bribery is correct because it typically does not involve an illicit exchange aimed at influencing a decision-maker in a professional or governmental capacity. Bribery generally involves a transaction where one party offers something of value, usually money or gifts, with the intent to sway someone's actions or decisions, particularly those in positions of authority, such as public officials or jurors.

In contrast, offering money to a public official for a favor, soliciting a payment to influence a juror, and accepting a benefit for influencing a police officer are all actions that fall under the definition of bribery. These acts involve an exchange where one party seeks to gain an advantage or favors that could compromise the integrity of a public duty or legal process. Thus, giving gifts to a friend does not inherently carry the same ulterior motive of corruption or influence, making it the correct answer in this context.
