• C

Explanation

Option A (Resident) is correct because a resident is a physician who has already completed their internship and is now in a structured postgraduate training program to deepen expertise in a clinical or specialty area - exactly matching the definition given.

Option C (Intern) is wrong because an intern is in their first year of postgraduate medical training, before completing the internship stage described in the question.

Option B (Chief Resident) is wrong because a chief resident is a senior resident who takes on administrative and leadership responsibilities within a residency program - a step beyond the basic resident definition.

Memory tip: Think of the career ladder - Intern → Resident → Chief Resident. The question describes someone who has passed the internship stage but is still in training, which places them squarely in the Resident role.
