Your Answer Here Would Be;

Answer D- Anesthesiologist.

Here; I'm Going To Break Down Your Options.

A is Incorrect.  

A Toxicologist Would Not Be Involved With This Situation. Toxicologists Study the Safety & Biological Effects of Drugs, Chemicals, Agents, & Other Substances on Living Organisms, Such as Animals or Humans. They Develop Methods to Determine Harmful Effects, & So On. A Toxicologist Would Not Be Testing On Someone's Pet Whilst Under Surgery & Anesthesia, Since It Could Put the Pet at Risk, Or Fully Kill Them. They Would Not Be Doing This Action Without Proper Consent From the Owner.

B is Incorrect.

A Radiologist Would Not Be Actively Involved With This Situation, However; They Would Be Involved, But Not Play a Main Role Within the Surgery. A Radiologist Simply Does X-Ray Images For The Pet, And Displays Them In front of the Pet Owner Before the Surgery, so the Owner Can Know What is Going to Be Worked On. The Image(s) May Be Used To Look at for Reference for the Surgical Procedure, Though, That Is Unlikely.

C is Also Incorrect.

Internal Medicine/General Internal Medicine, is the Medical Specialty Dealing With the Prevention, Diagnosis, & Overall Treatment of Adult Diseases. An Internist Would Not Be Involved Here, Either.

D is Correct Here.

A Veterinary Anesthesiologist Is Needed at All Times During a Surgery, to Monitor Anesthetic Levels. To Make Sure Nothing Goes Wrong, If the Dosage Is Too High or Too Low, If the Anesthesia Was Never Applied, Or If the Anesthetic Fully Wears Off During the Medical Procedure.
