The first sale doctrine allows the owner of a legally acquired copy of a copyrighted work to resell or transfer that copy without requiring permission from the copyright owner. Therefore, Damien's sale of the book to his sister is legal. The other options are incorrect because they either impose additional conditions that are not required by the first sale doctrine or are simply wrong.
