The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to identify the terms 'X' and 'Y' based on the provided description. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding 'X':** - The question states that 'X' is the right granted by a government to an inventor to prevent others from commercial use of their invention. - This description matches the definition of a **patent**. A patent gives the inventor exclusive rights to their invention, preventing others from making, using, or selling it without permission. 2. **Understanding 'Y':** - The next part of the question specifies that when 'X' (patents) are granted for biological entities and products derived from them, these are referred to as 'Y'. - In the context of biotechnology, when patents are specifically granted for biological inventions, they are known as **biopatents**. Biopatents cover new inventions related to biological materials, such as genetically modified organisms or processes involving biological entities. 3. **Final Identification:** - Therefore, we conclude that: - 'X' is **patent**. - 'Y' is **biopatent**. ### Conclusion: - 'X' = Patent - 'Y' = Biopatent
