Number 24 is "B. complimentary" rather than "D. sample" because in the context of publishing, "complimentary copies" refers to the free copies of the published book that are given to the author as a gesture of goodwill. These copies are provided to the author as a courtesy, often for personal use or for promotional purposes.

On the other hand, "sample copies" typically refers to copies of the book that are distributed to potential buyers, reviewers, or retailers as examples of the published work. However, in the passage, it mentions that a few copies may be sent to the author, which fits the description of complimentary copies rather than samples for marketing purposes

So option B is the most appropriate answer to the question
