Answer: b. changing to an "opt out" system in the USA

Explanation:

The OPT OUT system of Organ donation is one where every adult in a country is considered an organ donor unless they opt out or unless they are in an excluded group.

This has been shown to increase organ donation in certain countries and maybe the US could benefit as well.
