Final answer:

Photocopying and submitting an entire published short story as one's own work constitutes both copyright infringement and plagiarism, as it involves stealing intellectual property and not providing credit to the original author.

Step-by-step explanation:

The term that defines photocopying an entire published short story and turning it in to a publisher as one's own, is both copyright infringement and plagiarism.

Copyright infringement occurs when someone copies, for commercial purposes, original works of authorship, such as books and music, without the permission of the copyright holder.

On the other hand, plagiarism is the act of presenting someone else's work or intellectual property as your own without giving proper credit, whether by copying parts or whole works.

In this context, the student's actions violate the moral, ethical, and legal standards of original work and copyright laws.

correct option c)Both of the above
