Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct way to write professional titles is to use the abbreviation for the specific profession following the individual's name. "O.D." stands for Doctor of Optometry, which is the correct abbreviation for Stephen Carruthers' profession. The other options have incorrect abbreviations or redundancies (e.g. "M.D." already implies that Sally Wong is a doctor, so the "Dr." before her name is unnecessary).
