Which right in the copyright bundle covers adaptation or derivation of a work?

• A. Reproduction right
• B. Distribution right
• C. Right of Adaptation/Derivation
• D. Public Performance right

Answer: (C)

The key idea is that copyright grants an exclusive right to create derivative works—new works that are based on or transformed from the original. This right lets the copyright owner authorize or forbid adaptations, sequels, translations, film or stage adaptations, remixes, or any other reshaping of the work. Because adaptation or derivation involves changing the work’s form or content to produce something new, it falls under the rights holder’s control of derivative works. Without permission, creating such a derivative would infringe this specific right. This is distinct from the reproduction right (making exact copies), the distribution right (selling or distributing copies), and the public performance right (performing the work publicly). So the option that covers adaptation or derivation is the right of adaptation/derivation.
