Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The right of the author to prevent unauthorized changes or destruction of their work is known as moral right. This is a type of right that recognizes the author's personal connection with their work and their desire to maintain its integrity. It is separate from economic rights, which allow the author to profit from their work. Therefore, option A, moral right, is the best choice. The other choices, real right, literary right, compensation right, and easement right, do not accurately describe the author's right to attribution and preservation of their work.
