While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
  • A copyright prevents a book’s contents from being reproduced (published) without permission from the copyright holder.
  • When a book’s copyright expires, the book enters the public domain.
  • Public domain books can be legally reproduced by anyone.
  • New Hampshire is a poetry collection by Robert Frost.
  • It was published in 1923 and entered the public domain on January 1, 2019 (ninety-six years later).
Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to explain why New Hampshire entered the public domain?
A
New Hampshire, a poetry collection by Robert Frost, is freely available to the public.
B
The copyright to New Hampshire expired in 2019, causing the poetry collection to enter the public domain.
C
Before New Hampshire entered the public domain, only its copyright holder could give permission for others to reproduce its contents.
D
Once New Hampshire entered the public domain, anyone could publish its contents.
