true
false

Explanation:

• First Question: Ergonomic devices are designed to fit the human body's natural form and movement. Keyboards and mice that are ergonomic reduce strain on the wrists, helping prevent injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome. So, the statement "Ergonomic devices such as keyboards and mice will help prevent wrist injuries" is correct.
• Second Question:
• a. Copyright laws mainly deal with protecting the rights of creators of original works (like software, books, etc.). They don't focus on user responsibilities within an organization's computer system.
• b. Acceptable use policy (AUP) is a set of rules that an organization establishes. It clearly defines what users can and cannot do on the organization's computer system (e.g., acceptable internet usage, software usage guidelines). So, it is used to identify user responsibilities.
• c. Fair use doctrine is a legal concept in copyright law that allows limited use of copyrighted material without permission. It's not about user responsibilities in an organizational computer - system context.
• d. Antivirus program is a software tool to protect a computer from malware. It doesn't define user responsibilities.
• Third Question: Violating copyright (e.g., pirating software) is not only morally wrong but also illegal. Copyright laws are in place to protect the intellectual property of software developers (and other content creators). Unauthorized copying, distribution, or use (in the case of software piracy) is a violation of these laws.

Answer:

• First Question: True
• Second Question: B. acceptable use policy
• Third Question: False
