Question 9. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 2?
Patent protections can skew research trajectories, privileging expedient monopolies over societally valuable therapies.
A. Patent rules steer R&D toward projects maximizing exclusivity payoffs rather than those delivering greatest social benefit, thereby distorting scientific priorities.
B. Firms naturally prefer difficult, lengthy trials because they extend exclusivity windows and improve therapeutic quality across indications and populations.
C. Market forces always elevate most socially valuable cures since monopolies attract wider investment from every payer segment worldwide.
D. Secondary patents generally convert marginal tweaks into major breakthroughs, ensuring societal value rises in proportion to exclusivity length.
