Why is discussion of an artisan's intellectual rights important in handicrafts?

Correct answer: To prevent unfair use of design, technique and originality

Direct answer: Option A is correct. Intellectual rights protect the original knowledge and creative work of artisans. A design, special technique, pattern or distinctive method may be copied and sold by others without permission or credit. Discussing these rights helps prevent such unfair use and supports recognition, income and dignity for the creator. Option A is correct because it protects design, technique and originality. Option B is the opposite of the purpose of rights: the artisan should receive credit. Option C is wrong because rights discourage imitation and counterfeit products rather than promote them. Option D is wrong because clear ownership and information protect customers from confusion. The basic chain is originality, ownership, protection and fair benefit. Memory cue: creative knowledge deserves credit, consent and compensation.
