Answer:

When, later, Maria finds and arrests him, with respect to the reward, she can:

b. not collect it because she had a preexisting duty to capture Oscar.

Explanation:

  • The reason is that preexisting duty allows Maria to arrest Oscar but not to collect the reward as arresting Oscar is her prior duty. So, the option b is correct.
  • The option a is not correct as she can't collect it due to her preexisting duty.
  • The option c is not correct as it is legally sufficient consideration due to preexisting duty rule.
  • The option d is incorrect as collecting reward is not unethical.
