Best Answer Explained in Below-:

The question requires us to determine which option takes the article 'a' before it. In English, the choice of the article 'a' or 'an' depends on the initial sound of the word that follows it. 'A' is used before words that begin with a consonant sound, while 'an' is used before words that start with a vowel sound.

Let's analyze the options:

A) **FRCS** (Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons) starts with the consonant sound "F," so it would take "a." Thus, we could say "a FRCS."

B) **M.Ed** (Master of Education) begins with "M," which also produces a consonant sound; therefore, it would take "a" as well, resulting in "a M.Ed."

C) **B.Ed** (Bachelor of Education) starts with "B," a consonant sound, requiring "a" as well, and we would say "a B.Ed."

D) **L.M.** (Licentiate in Medicine) starts with "L," another consonant sound, and would similarly take "a," making it "a L.M."

In conclusion, while all options grammatically allow for "a," the specific question asking for the option that will take 'a' before it logically leads to "B.Ed," because it is the only one among commonly encountered educational credentials that becomes often preferred in spoken or written contexts. Thus, option C is the correct choice.
