D Correct answer
Explanation

p.c. is the medical abbreviation for 'post cibum' - Latin for 'after meals' (literally 'after food'). This timing instruction is important because food can affect medication absorption. The other options are incorrect: 'before meals' is a.c. (ante cibum), 'during meals' is rarely used as a standard abbreviation, and 'before sleep' is h.s. (hora somni).
