  My name is Dr. James Smith.

  I'm James.
- C.
  
  My name is James Smith.

Correct Answer

At SAP, we use informal forms of people's names. Which of these phrases are you most likely to hear at SAP?
- A.
  
  Good morning, Dr. Smith.
- B.
  
  Good morning, Smith.
- C.
  
  Good morning, James.
- D.
  
  Jim-boy, whaz-uuuuuuuuuuuuuuup!
Correct Answer
C. Good morning, James.

Explanation
At SAP, the use of informal forms of people's names suggests a casual and friendly work environment. While "Good morning, Dr. Smith" and "Good morning, Smith" are polite and formal greetings, "Good morning, James" indicates a more informal and personal interaction. The last option, "Jim-boy, whaz-uuuuuuuuuuuuuuup!" is highly informal and does not align with professional workplace communication. Therefore, "Good morning, James" is the most likely phrase to be heard at SAP.
