Free ISC2 CISSP Actual Exam Questions - Question 15 Discussion

Maybe C, since copyright doesn't cover ideas themselves, only the specific expression.

C makes the most sense since copyright covers the specific way something is written or shown, not the underlying idea or invention. Options A and B are definitely out, as those relate to patents or natural sciences.

D imo, because copyright doesn’t protect ideas themselves, just the way they’re fixed in a tangible medium like a book, song, or artwork. Option D points out ideas expressed in literary works, which fits since those are specifically covered under copyright. Options A and B are more about patents and scientific discoveries, so they’re out. C is close but sounds a bit vague compared to D’s direct mention of literary works.

Option C, because copyright protects the form of expression, not the idea itself.

Maybe C, since copyright is about how an idea is expressed, not the idea itself or inventions, which are more patent-related. Options A and B definitely don't fit here.

Makes sense to rule out A and B since those fall under patents, not copyright. So C fits best for the actual expression of an idea.

It’s C, because copyright covers the expression, not ideas or inventions.
