Answer:

A. The abbreviation "B.C should be associated with a number, such as 44 B.C.

Explanation:

The abbreviation "B.C" must be preceded by a number, that is the rule.

For example: There was a map of the world at 500 B.C.

However, It would be wrong to say: There was a map of the world at B.C.

Hello,

I would say the correct answer is A) The abbreviation "B.C." should be associated with a number such as "44 B.C."

I believe this is true because B.C. states a place in time, and it needs a number to go with it. You can't say "That was before Christ." You need to say "That was 44 B.C."
