Answer 1

Answer: (C)

C

When "as well as" is used, the verb takes the subject before the phrase, ot after that, in this case, the doctor. Since the subject is singular, the reflexive pronoun will also be singular, that is "himself/herself". Hence, Option C is correct as it points out the erratic part C, the rest of the options don't, hence, incorrect.
