• A. RA No. 5527
• B. RA No. 6138
• C. P.D. 498
• D. P.D. 1534

Answer: (C)

The question tests knowledge of how a specific Presidential Decree updated an existing law. On June 11, 1978, Presidential Decree No. 498 amended sections 3, 8, and 13 of Republic Act No. 5527, which governs the practice of medical technology. These sections typically cover who can be licensed (qualifications), the scope of practice and licensure procedures, and penalties for practicing without proper licensure or for violations. The decree’s amendments to these sections reflect a tightening and clarification of the regulatory framework for medical technologists under that act, which is why this decree is the correct choice for that date and those sections. The other options refer to different laws or decrees that do not match the specified amendments on that date.
