Correct answer: D — The label must clearly state once-weekly dosing and the chosen day

Methotrexate weekly dosing must be clearly labelled to prevent daily-dose errors. In this vignette, "The label must clearly state once-weekly dosing and the chosen day" is the safest single best answer. The other options are less appropriate because they miss the key clinical risk, conflict with UK medicines guidance, or delay needed review.
