Formal Operational Reasoning
Answer:
Among the options given on the question the correct answer is option C.
Most artwork does not meet criteria for patent.
Explanation: There can be several reasons behind the rejection of the patent of artwork created by Sherry.
Patent is the individual property protection law which is a bit different from the copyright law or the trade mark law.
There are two types of patent. One is utility patents and another is design patents. The design patents are the protection the design not the protection of the idea behind the design.
However if the art work is a visual painting than it does not meet the criteria of the patent. Because an artwork is not an invention which can be protected under the patent law. Basically the visual art is an idea of the artist. So ideas can not be protected under the patent law.
Therefore it is not meeting the criteria of the patents. So it might be the best possible reason for rejecting the patent application of Shelly.
