Two different concepts, copyright infringement and plagiarism, are often confused for each other. Copyright infringement deals with the unauthorized use of copyright material and hence the violation of the rights of the copyright holder. Plagiarism, on the other hand, is concerned with false claims of authorship of ideas, works etc. that may not necessarily be protected under copyright. Moreover, even if a person gets the permission to use copyright material, it may still account for plagiarism if the person tries to falsely claim the authorship of the material.
Which of the following must be true on the basis of the information given in the above argument?
A. Plagiarism may not always amount to copyright infringement but copyright infringement always amounts to plagiarism.
B. Any unauthorized use of material that has been protected under copyright will be considered plagiarism.
C. Under certain conditions, use of copyright free material can still be considered plagiarism.
D. Even authorized use of copyright material amounts to plagiarism.
E. In a court of law, it is easier to prove a case of copyright infringement than a case of plagiarism.

The correct answer is C. This means that even if material is not protected under copyright, it can still be considered plagiarism if it is used without giving proper credit to the original source.
Option A is incorrect because copyright infringement and plagiarism are two distinct concepts, and just because one occurs does not necessarily mean that the other has also occurred.
Option B is also incorrect because plagiarism is concerned with false claims of authorship, while copyright infringement is about unauthorized use of protected material.
Option D is incorrect because authorized use of copyright material with proper attribution does not constitute plagiarism.
Option E is not necessarily true, as the difficulty in proving a case of infringement or plagiarism depends on the specific circumstances of the case.
