Answer:

free-rider

Step-by-step explanation:

In social context, there are many cases when a group's individual members can profit from each member's actions and all can benefit significantly from collective action. A free-rider refers to the individual who intends others to pay for a common good but plans to use the good themselves. However, if the number of free riders increases in a group common good can never be provided.
