Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Obtaining a copyright creates a legal barrier to entry for others who may want to use or reproduce the work, limiting competition. A higher price (choice A) and lower price (choice D) do not necessarily create barriers to entry, as competitors can choose to match or adjust their prices accordingly. Offering free samples (choice C) may attract new customers, but it does not create a significant barrier to entry for competitors.
