Why each option
By using images from the internet without proper permission, a non-profit organization is possibly infringing on the copyright of the original creators or owners of those images.
Copyright law protects original works of authorship, including images, as soon as they are created, granting the creator exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, and display their work. Using copyrighted images without permission or a valid license constitutes copyright infringement.
A patent protects inventions (new and useful processes, machines, manufactures, or compositions of matter), not artistic works like images.
A trademark protects words, phrases, symbols, or designs that identify and distinguish the source of goods or services of one party from those of others, such as logos or brand names, not generic images.
DRM (Digital Rights Management) refers to technologies used to control access to copyrighted material and is not a right itself, but a mechanism to enforce existing rights like copyright. Infringing on DRM would be circumventing the technology, not necessarily infringing on DRM as a legal concept.
