Explanation
Answer: D - When a breastfeeding mother has been called to jury duty she should be advised to contact the governmental office and find out what the procedure is to get excused.

Some excuse the breastfeeding mother with a simple request from the mother; others require physician documentation and still more excuse not only breastfeeding mothers but also those who are expressing breast milk.
