What type of behavior is characterized as "illicit"?

Lawful
Permitted
Unlawful
Standard

The correct answer is: Unlawful

Illicit behavior is fundamentally defined as actions that are unlawful or forbidden by law. This term encompasses a variety of activities that violate legal statutes or regulations. Examples include drug trafficking, theft, and other criminal activities that are not permitted within the legal framework of society. Understanding that illicit behavior is inherently linked to illegal actions helps one recognize the importance of adhering to laws and regulations in any professional or social context. In contrast, lawful actions comply with established laws, permitted refers to activities that are allowed under certain conditions, and standard behavior aligns with what is generally accepted within society or a specific community.
