Mtr. and Mss.
Mr. and Mrs.
Mist. and Miss.
Mr. and Miss.
The abbreviation for Mister is “Mr.” The abbreviation for Missus is “Mrs.” As there is no “r” in the word “Missus,” people have gotten confused on this. At one time in history men were considered to “own” their wives so the “Mrs.” was actually used to show possession or ownership. The abbreviation was actually showing that Maggie was the Mister’s wife, hence “Mrs.” dropping the apostrophe between the “r” and the “s”. The abbreviation is still standard use today although some women now prefer to use “Ms.” rather then “Mrs.” Answer (b) is correct.
