Question

Options

• AUse the images without paying a fee for each use.
• BResell or transfer the images without paying a fee.
• CUse the images without purchasing a license.
• DAssumecopyrightof the images.

• A
  88% (50)
• B
  7% (4)
• C
  2% (1)
• D
  4% (2)

Explanation

A royalty-free license means you pay a one-time fee (or sometimes nothing) to license the image, and then you can use it multiple times without paying an additional fee per use - that's exactly what option A describes.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B is wrong because royalty-free licenses typically restrict redistribution or resale of the image itself - you can use it, not sell it on.
• C is wrong because "royalty-free" does not mean "free of charge" or "no license needed" - a license is still required; you just aren't charged per use.
• D is wrong because licensing an image never transfers copyright - the original creator retains ownership.

Memory tip: Break the term apart - "royalty-free" means free of royalties (per-use fees), not free of cost or free of legal obligation. Think of it as a flat-rate rental, not ownership.
