What restriction does ND indicate about a creative work?

• A. Works must be sold
• B. Derivatives or adaptations of the work are not allowed
• C. Uses are restricted to personal use
• D. Works may be modified with permission

Answer: (B)

The designation "ND" stands for "No Derivatives." This indicates that derivatives or adaptations of the creative work are not allowed. In practical terms, this means that anyone who wants to use the work must use the original version as it is, without making any alterations, adaptations, or modifications. This restriction is aimed at preserving the original intent and integrity of the creator's work.

In contrast, the other options do not reflect the meaning of "ND": works do not have to be sold solely based on this designation; personal use limitations are not inherently tied to "ND"; and while some licenses may allow modifications with permission, the presence of "ND" specifically prohibits such actions.
