e. have him wear a white lab coat and a stethoscope

Explanation / Answer

d. remind viewers that he is in fact an M.D. and not a Ph.D.

I believe that this would have been the best option to convince the audience that the person who is talking about or promoting the product is not only M.D. but also a scientist and a researcher who has immense knowledge about medical science and the way it is developing so it would have been better to portray such an image in this case.
