Option B is the best choice as it clearly states what the candidate accomplished during their two years as an officer of the campus chapter. It highlights the specific work the candidate did on recruiting and retention that led to a 12-percent increase in membership. Option A is also partially correct but does not provide a clear explanation of how the candidate achieved the increase in membership. Option C is not relevant to the candidate's accomplishments as an officer of the professional association. Option D does not say anything about what the candidate accomplished during their time as an officer.
