Answer: B
The author is Abraham Flexner.
Flexner, already famous for his 1910 report on American medical education, delivered 'Is Social Work a Profession?' at the National Conference of Charities and Correction in Baltimore in 1915. He set out criteria for a profession, such as intellectual operations, a scientific knowledge base, practical ends and an educationally communicable technique, and concluded that social work did not yet meet them. The paper pushed social work towards building its own knowledge base and training.
Mary Richmond answered the challenge with Social Diagnosis (1917). Ernest Greenwood wrote the later article 'Attributes of a Profession' (1957), which concluded that social work was a profession. Octavia Hill was a pioneer of housing reform and the Charity Organisation Society in Britain.
