The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the term that describes the unauthorized use of bio-resources by multinational companies and organizations without compensatory payment to the countries and people from whom these resources are taken. 2. **Identifying Key Terms**: The key terms in the question are "bio-resources," "multinational companies," "unauthorized use," and "compensatory payment." 3. **Exploring the Concept**: The act of using biological resources without permission and without compensating the original providers is a form of exploitation. This is often referred to in legal and ethical discussions surrounding biodiversity and indigenous rights. 4. **Recognizing the Term**: The term that specifically refers to this unauthorized use of biological resources is "biopiracy." Biopiracy involves the appropriation of indigenous knowledge and biological resources by corporations or entities without proper authorization or compensation. 5. **Eliminating Incorrect Options**: - **Bioethics** refers to the ethical implications of biological research and applications. - **Bioterror** involves the use of biological agents to harm or intimidate. - **Bioweapon** refers to biological agents used as weapons. Thus, these terms do not fit the context of unauthorized use of bio-resources. 6. **Conclusion**: Based on the understanding and elimination of incorrect options, the correct answer to the question is "biopiracy." **Final Answer**: The term is **biopiracy**. ---
