Option A

Section 2(28)(a) includes commissioned officers in the Army, Navy or Air Force.

Option B

Section 2(28)(b) includes judges and persons empowered by law to discharge adjudicatory functions within its terms.

Option C

Registration and private practice alone do not put the practitioner in a listed class. A separate appointment or public role may change the analysis.
