Correct answer: C — Doxycycline 100 mg PO twice daily for 7 days

Doxycycline 100 mg BID for 7 days is first-line for uncomplicated chlamydial infection in nonpregnant adults. Azithromycin single dose is an alternative but less effective for rectal infection. Levofloxacin is an alternative when needed. Amoxicillin is for pregnancy. Observation is inappropriate.
