Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - Literary work
Under section 2(o) of the Copyright Act, 1957, “literary work” includes computer programmes, tables and compilations, including computer databases, so software is protected as a literary work. A screen display may have artistic elements, but the program itself is not an artistic work or a cinematographic film.
