【C5】

选项 A、users
B、owners
C、masters
D、executives

答案B

解析 上下文语义题。文章首句就点明:个人与企业在他们创造和拥有的知识产权上受到法律保护,句中的legal protection for intellectual property they create and own提示了保护的对象应该是创造并拥有该知识产权的人或集体,故B项owners“所有者”符合文意。其实,此空所在句是文章首句的同义表述,不难选出答案。A项users意为“使用者”,第一段首句说“个人与企业在他们创造和拥有的知识产权上受到法律保护”,故法律保护的是知识产权的所有者,而非使用者。C项masters“主人”一般是指某人服务和效力的对象或宠物的拥有者。D项executives“主管”是指职业范畴中的职位级别,用在此处不合适。
