The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Under Section 15 of the Copyright Act, 1957, the copyright on a design ceases if the design is reproduced more than fifty times by an industrial process. This provision ensures that designs intended for mass production lose their exclusive copyright after a certain threshold of reproduction, to encourage further innovation and use of the design. Thus, the correct answer is a) Section 15, fifty times.
