    a. political corruption

    Explanation:

    This a nepotism form of political corruption. It is naming a close relative over the common people. It is using his power for illegitimate private gain.

    This "inspection" creates no value to the economy and neither protects the windows from breaking.

    Tammy is creating a fee to pay for his nephew office.

    The real motivation is to extract funds from the taxpersons to her own personal benefit. This is an act of corruption.
