Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Ideas alone cannot be protected by intellectual property laws until they are developed into a tangible form or expression. Patents protect inventions or processes, copyrights protect original works of authorship once they are fixed in a tangible medium, and simply having an idea does not qualify for these protections or for registration.
