Which statement represents one of the Five Laws of Library Science?

• A. Ready Reference
• B. Drones
• C. Data Visualization
• D. Five Laws of Library Science

Answer: (D)

This item checks your familiarity with the framework known as the Five Laws of Library Science. The five laws, proposed by S. R. Ranganathan, express fundamental principles about how libraries should serve users: books are for use; every reader his or her book; every book its reader; save the time of the reader; and the library is a growing organism. The option that directly names this framework—“Five Laws of Library Science”—best fits the prompt, because it points to the set of laws itself rather than describing a service or a technology. The other choices refer to a particular library service (Ready Reference) or to unrelated modern concepts (Drones, Data Visualization), which are not part of the established laws.
