Ha, I bet the person who bribed with a car is really regretting that decision now! Anyway, B is the right answer, no doubt about it.

Ooh, this is a tricky one! I was tempted to go with option D, but you're right, that's just a fine, not forfeiture. B is the way to go.

I was a little confused at first, but option B makes the most sense. Forcing the defendant to hand over the bribe car is a clear example of criminal forfeiture.

Hmm, I think option B is the correct answer here. Forfeiture is when the government seizes property obtained through illegal means, and that definitely seems to be the case with the car bribe.
