What does CC BY NC restrict?

• A. Can be used for any purpose with attribution.
• B. Can only be used for non-commercial purposes and must still quote the source.
• C. Requires payment of fees.
• D. Allows commercial use if credit is given.

Answer: (B)

CC BY NC means you can reuse the work only for non-commercial purposes and you must give proper credit to the creator. The non-commercial part restricts uses that are aimed at making money or benefiting a business; if your use would provide a commercial advantage or monetary gain, it isn’t allowed without extra permission. The attribution requirement means you must acknowledge the original author and source wherever you use or adapt the work. Creative Commons licenses are free to use, so there’s no mandatory payment involved. So, this license lets you share or adapt the material in non-profit, educational, or personal contexts as long as you credit the author; it blocks uses that are primarily for commercial gain.
