Otherwise, you may encounter retraction or penalties in future after the paper has been published. To be on the safe side, select the option labeled for noncommercial reuse with modification, which allows you to reuse and modify the image under non-commercial constraints. Alternatively, you may need to make your own images for use in the paper.

This issue pertains also to images downloaded through word document, power-point, or excel

In Word, do not forget to select Creative Commons only, the type of licence that allows you to reuse the image for non-commercial applications.
