B. A waste removal company dumps garbage in a protected federal forest.

Explanation:

Businesses face prosecution when they indulge in actions which are illegal and unwarranted.

An utility company which goes into bankruptcy due it's inability to generate profit hasn't in any way wronged the government and will not be punished for going bankrupt.

Similarly, choosing one's supplier is by choice as long as one does not owe the supplier, changing one's supplier is a common business process due to numerous reasons and hence attracts no sanction.

Also, failure to honor accidentally printed coupons cannot be deemed a criminal offense, the company isn't defrauding their clients here, breach in firewall and testing, software glitches are common causes of such mistake. Hence, failure to honor such isn't a criminal act.

However, trespassing and violation of guidelines and regulatory laws will be deemed as criminal and approve sanctions. Ware removal companies have approved means and areas for disposing and getting rid of waste, Waste disposal in unapproved and reserved areas Wil attract sanctions.
