Answer 3.

The answer is option C bracketing.

Explanation: Bracketing is known as the process of keeping an inventor from using his products by patenting around it. So the inventor may have patented the original invention but the other ancillary invention which is required for the product to be functional is patented by the competition thus by preventing the original inventor by using his product.
