Code Security law sounds familiar, but I can't recall if it's an actual legal term or just something we talked about in relation to software protection.

I think patent laws are the right choice here since they protect inventions and processes, but I'm not entirely sure.

I'm kind of torn on this one. I can see both sides, but I think I remember it being false based on a case study we discussed.

I'm a little confused by this question. The options all seem plausible, but I'm not sure I fully understand the nuances between them. I'll need to review my notes on CI pipelines to make sure I'm picking the best answer.
