While all of the answer choices have some truth to them, the most accurate statement is that a professional is a person expected to conduct himself or herself at a higher level than most other members of society. This includes displaying a certain level of knowledge and expertise in a particular field, maintaining a high level of ethics and integrity, and generally exhibiting a level of competence and dedication that sets them apart from others.
