B) Avoid stating why the recommendation is required.
C) Always ask permission before using someone as a reference.
D) Always offer to pay the person for their time in writing the reference.
E) Avoid pressuring the receiver by mentioning a deadline.
Answer: C
Explanation: C) Before you volunteer someone's name as a reference, ask permission to do so.
