Explanation:

A qualified privilege according to the law is a form of protection given to an individual, a firm or a corporation.

In the question above, PriceMart's sale of these items of Martin Luther King most likely IS A QUALIFIED PRIVILEGE because Martin Luther King is a public icon and it is important to chronicle and keep in memory, history and record through movies, books and momentoes all his works and impact in the Civil Rights Movement.
