"p.o.t.i.d." stands for "by mouth three times a day," which is the correct administration order for Colace 100 mg. Option B is incorrect because "b.i.d." means "twice a day." Option C is incorrect because the dosage is not written correctly, and Option D is incorrect because "MG" should be capitalized and there should not be a space before the frequency.
