C Correct answer
Explanation

The estimated cost of 'cyberslacking' (employees using internet for personal purposes during work time) is significantly higher than \$1 billion globally. Various studies and estimates place the actual cost closer to \$10 billion annually when factoring in lost productivity across all companies worldwide. The 'almost fiction' option correctly identifies that the $1 billion figure is a substantial underestimate of the real economic impact.
