Tiana Conley · Answer 1

The answer is B.

Explanation:

First of all, a sentence can't be started with a numeral. We can either rephrase it or write numeral with letters.

Official abbreviation for Governor is Gov.

So answers C and D can not be correct because the sentence starts with a number, not a word.

In answer A it is not used the abbreviation for Governor, so the correct answer is B.
