Answer:

it is A

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

C. Dr. Rosen asked that her patient explain his symptoms more clearly.

Step-by-step explanation:

FYI ...

Tomas123hdz's answer is incorrect.

In order for sentence A. to express subjunctive mood, the verb 'was' must be written 'were.'

If I WERE you, I'd bake the birthday cake myself to save money.
