Answer 1

The true statement about every public domain work is:

It is not protected by copyright or Creative Commons licenses.

Public domain works are those that are free for use by anyone because they are not under copyright protection, which means that anyone can use, share, or modify them without seeking permission or paying royalties. The other statements may not hold true for all public domain works. For example, public domain works can be less than 100 years old in certain circumstances (e.g., works published before 1924 in the U.S. as of now). Additionally, while many public domain works may be of great artistic or scientific merit, not all qualify as such.
