By choosing option C you’re sort of abandoning your patient so it is incorrect. Option B reveals that the doctor is willing to help the patient even though it’s against his/her morals.

Well asking her to call a local clinic isn't necessarily providing a direct alternative. Providing another doctor who can prescribe the medication would be much better and you would be directly transferring care. If you asked her to call the women's health clinic you would not be transferring care to anyone specific and that might be detrimental to the patient's health.
I mean it's ethics ... anything could be justifiable really 😛 but you directly transferring care is probably better than leaving the patient to deal with it on her own is probably what they are going for here.

I dont get it. Why can’t the answer be “I recommend that you call the local women’s health clinic” (Choice C)? (my thoughts were like this : oh this is against the physician’s Morals -> he should be refusing but he must recommend other doctors -> B and C are almost the same , he is recommending a clinic which she can call and any doctor there will answer and help her immediately, job done here -> regarding B it may be right but C is better because it doesnt involve disclosing the information to any doctor else ) where am i wrong ?
B : “I can have one of my colleagues call you back to further discuss your concerns.”
C : “I recommend that you call the local women’s health clinic”
