Answer: (B)

Medicare is made up of four parts that together cover different kinds of care. Part A is hospital insurance, helping with inpatient hospital stays, skilled nursing facility care, hospice, and some home health services. Part B is medical insurance, covering outpatient services, doctor visits, preventive care, and medical supplies. Part C, Medicare Advantage, is a private-plan option that bundles Part A and Part B and often includes Part D prescription drug coverage plus extra benefits. Part D adds prescription drug coverage, offered through private plans. Because the program includes all four parts, the best answer lists A, B, C, and D.
