Answer 2

Answer: d. common noun and is not capitalized

Step-by-step explanation:

Whether or not occupation titles should be capitalized depends a lot on context. Although formal job titles should be capitalized, references to a profession are common nouns and therefore should not.

As long as the reference to someone´s occupation appears anywhere, either separated by commas or earlier or later in the sentence, lowercase letters should be used.
