The correct answer is:
**Copyright protection is automatic and applies as soon as she takes the photograph.**
When Agnes takes a photograph, she automatically holds the copyright to that work, as long as it meets the criteria of originality and fixation in a tangible medium. There is no need for her to include a caption, watermark, or make her account private to receive copyright protection. Publicly sharing her work on social media does not negate her copyright rights.
