Which of the following is a legal liability schools can face regarding printed instructional materials?

• A. Personal preference of the teacher
• B. Not following classroom management
• C. Designing materials without any safety instructions
• D. Copyright infringement

Answer: (D)

Legal liability in this area comes from copyright concerns. When a school copies, distributes, or uses text, images, worksheets, or other protected content in printed instructional materials without permission or beyond what a license allows, it can face legal claims, fines, or required licensing. That direct link to protected works makes copyright infringement the best answer, because it identifies a real, enforceable risk tied to the materials themselves. The other scenarios involve classroom management or safety issues, which are important but do not represent the same kind of legal liability specific to the printed content.
