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.

I agree, option B is the correct answer. The defendant transferring the car received as a bribe to the government fits the definition of criminal forfeiture.
