    • G.  First name Unknown (FNU)

    Correct Answer
    A. F.  D AND E
    Explanation
    If the maiden name of the wife is not known, the correct way to address her is by using her husband's last name. Therefore, option B, "Mrs. Smith," is the correct answer. However, if the maiden name is not known and the options B and D are both correct, it is also recommended to look for the marriage license of the husband, Mr. John Smith, from the town or state he was last on census, 1-2 years before the birth of their first child. This additional step helps to confirm the correct last name to use when addressing the wife. Therefore, the correct answer is F, "D AND E."
