Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To follow the dosing schedule indicated on the medication label, the person should take 1 tablet every 4 to 6 hours, with a maximum of 3 tablets in 12 hours. Option A: 6 a.m., 11 a.m., 3 p.m., 7 p.m., aligns with the dosing instructions by allowing for a 4 to 6-hour interval between each dose within a 12-hour period.
