Correct answer: A — Alternative calcium salt
Calcium and vitamin D supplementation should be tailored to intake and tolerability. In this vignette, "Alternative calcium salt with vitamin D if needed" 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.
