Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
According to U.S. Patent Law, an invention must be non-obvious, unique, and useful in order to be granted a patent. While not being a modification of any prior patents is helpful, it is not specifically required to obtain a patent. Therefore, choices I, II, and III are necessary conditions, while IV is not. Thus, the correct choice is C, which includes all three necessary conditions.
