The fair use doctrine allows for limited copying of copyrighted works for certain purposes such as criticism, commentary, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research. In order for Joey to be exempt from liability for copyright infringement under fair use, his use of Mina's work must not have a significant effect on the potential market for her work. Since Joey's use has no effect on the market for Mina's work, he may be exempt from liability under fair use. Choices A, B, and D are not relevant factors in determining fair use.
