Question is based on the following passage:
Teaching Medical English
Medical English continues to be a growing field as more pharmacists, doctors and nurses leave their home countries and work in English-speaking countries or countries with large international communities such as the UAE.
Teaching medical English can be tough if you don’t have a background in life sciences like biology, anatomy and physiology. Fortunately, resources like Hospital English and Multimedical English have a wealth of supplementary material that can help you teach medical English in the classroom.
In addition, medical English lessons should involve vocabularybuilding exercises to help students remember difficult medical terms. They should also focus on building speaking and listening skills, as well as improving reading skills so that students can understand those challenging medical journals.
The good news is that most medical English students are already studying at the advanced level, so creating lessons to improve their proficiency levels shouldn’t be too difficult. Unlike in beginner classes, you can typically rely heavily on authentic English content like medical videos, talks and publications to create meaningful and challenging lessons.

Comentário do professor
A alternativa aponta que Inglês Médico é uma categoria específica de inglês dirigida a farmacêuticos, médicos e enfermeiros. Essa conclusão está respaldada pelo texto, que descreve o Inglês Médico como uma área em crescimento justamente porque esses profissionais trabalham em países de língua inglesa ou em comunidades internacionais.
Além disso, o próprio conteúdo do texto indica que as aulas devem incluir vocabulário técnico e o desenvolvimento de habilidades de fala, escuta e leitura voltadas a contextos médicos, o que caracteriza uma abordagem de inglês para fins específicos (ESP).
Portanto, é razoável inferir que se trata de uma subcategoria do inglês pensada para atender às necessidades comunicativas desses profissionais, confirmando a alternativa.
