Giving a default option of 'yes' and a space to check to "opt out" has been shown to increase organ donation rates. This is known as the "opt-out" system, and it assumes that people are willing to donate unless they actively choose not to. This has been implemented successfully in several countries around the world. A 'yes' or 'no' choice to check (option D) puts the burden of decision-making on the individual, which can be a barrier to choosing to donate. Having nothing on their driver's license about organ donation (option A) does not provide any information or prompt people to consider donation, while giving a default option of 'no' (option C) would not lead to as many donations.
