@Samir,
The answer requires us to find a value of the Hippocratic oath that should present no difficulty to most reformers. The author states in lines 47-50 "...the core value of beneficence - which does not actually conflict with most reformers' purposes - should be retained.." Beneficence is an ethical concept that states that the doctor's actions should benefit the patient, expressed in the answer choice (D).
