ow officially in the public domain and detached from its original meaning, the peace sign is available for anyone to use—or to sell.\

Explanation:

To determine which quotation supports the author’s point on commodification (the process of turning something into a commodity for sale/use), we analyze each option:

• The first option is about the creation of a protest graphic, not commodification.
• The second option describes the creation process by counterculture, not commodification.
• The third option is about recognition of the peace sign, not commodification.
• The fourth option states the peace sign is in the public domain, detached from its original meaning, and available to use or sell—this directly relates to commodification (being available for sale/use as a commodity).

Answer:

D. "Now officially in the public domain and detached from its original meaning, the peace sign is available for anyone to use—or to sell."
