CUp to 20 percent or 10 minutes, whichever is less

DUp to 30 percent or 3 minutes, whichever is less

Correct answer: (B) Up to 10 percent or 3 minutes, whichever is less

Explanation

Fair-use guidelines allow up to 10 percent or 3 minutes of a copyrighted video, whichever is less.

The limit of 10 percent or 10 minutes overstates the permitted duration.

A limit of 20 percent or 10 minutes exceeds the fair-use ceiling on both counts.

A limit of 30 percent or 3 minutes overstates the permitted proportion.

The stricter of the two measures, percentage or minutes, sets the actual limit.

Fair use lets limited copyrighted material be reused for education without permission.
