Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The Lanham Act and the Federal Trademark Dilution Revision Act of 2006 both protect identifiable trademarks. The Sonny Bono Act of 1998, also known as the Copyright Term Extension Act, extends the length of copyright protection for works created by individuals. It does not pertain to trademark protection. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
