The fair use doctrine allows for the limited use of copyrighted material without permission or payment to the copyright owner, but only if the use meets certain criteria, including not having a negative impact on the market for the original work. Therefore, by choosing option C (Joey's use has no effect on the market for Mina's work), Joey is most likely to be exempt from liability for copyright infringement under the fair use doctrine. The other options (A, B, and D) all involve actions that are more likely to be considered copyright infringement rather than fair use.
