C
Explanation :
Engaging in actions that are defined by a state legislature as constituting the "practice of law" without having the legal authorization (such as a license to practice law) is known as the unauthorized practice of law. This is typically prohibited to protect the public from receiving legal advice or representation from individuals who are not qualified or legally permitted to provide such services.
