Explanation

Copyright is a legal right that controls how a work may be reproduced, sold, or otherwise used. Plagiarism is presenting someone else’s work or ideas as your own without proper credit; it can occur even when copyright permission is not the issue. Therefore, the correct choice is “Copyright is the legal right to sell or reproduce work, while plagiarism involves using the works of others without permission.”
