Which of the following rights always rests in the author and can't be transfer by assignment licence or sale ?
Answer: C
The right that always rests in the author is the moral rights of an author.
Moral rights, the right to claim authorship (paternity) and the right to object to distortion or mutilation of the work (integrity), are personal to the author. In India, Section 57 of the Copyright Act, 1957 gives these rights independently of the author's copyright, and they remain with the author even after the copyright has been assigned.
Economic rights such as licensing, performing, editing and translating can be assigned or licensed under Sections 18 and 30 of the Act.
