या उताऱ्यानुसार पेटंट व मक्तेदारीचा आग्रह धरला जातो कारण According to the passage, patent and copyright are insisted upon because

a)विज्ञानात जोखीम घेता येत नाही / One cannot take any risk in science
b)उत्पादनाची साधने खाजगी मालकीची असतात / Tools of production are privately owned✓ Correct
c)रॉयल सोसायटी पेटंटला मान्यता देते / Royal Society approves the patents
d)त्यातून कोड्यात पाडणाऱ्या माहितीचं स्पष्टीकरण मिळतं / They offer an explanation for perplexing data

Option 2 is correct because intellectual property rights like patents and copyrights are deeply tied to private ownership of tools of production and commercial commodification of knowledge.
