The correct response is:

Facts cannot be copyrighted.

In nonfiction, the use of facts and information often falls under fair use because the facts themselves cannot be copyrighted. In contrast, fiction involves creative expression that is typically protected by copyright, making it more sensitive to issues of fair use.
