Which option describes a violation that occurs when you use a copyrighted work without authorization?

• A. Infringement
• B. Attribution
• C. Licensed Use
• D. Unauthorized Use

Answer: (D)

Using a copyrighted work without permission is unauthorized use. This directly states the act: permission was not granted, so the use is not allowed and constitutes a violation of copyright. The other options don’t describe the act itself: attribution is just giving credit, licensed use means you have permission, and while infringement is the legal term for violating rights, the phrase that most clearly matches the situation described is unauthorized use.
