Answer:

c. was less likely to be full-time.

Explanation:

The text presented above shows that being a doctor was something that anyone could be, since there were no medical schools and no organ that regulated this profession. Medicine was not considered a real profession, since in the text we can see that people who declared themselves to be doctors had other occupations such as being a merchant, working in the coffee plantation and even being a clergyman. This shows that, contrary to what we see today, the doctors of colonial America were not full-time doctors, since they needed to work with other things.
