E Correct answer
Explanation

The question asks which libraries are entitled by law to receive copies of all new publications. Under the Delivery of Books and Newspapers (Public Libraries) Act, 1954, every publisher must deliver one copy to the National Library, Kolkata, and one copy each to three other designated libraries. While Connemara Public Library is a deposit library, the question's phrasing about entitlement suggests multiple recipients. However, the 'all the above' option is technically inaccurate as the distribution mechanism is not universal.
