C.Reviewing the public work of another professional engineer for academic research purposes.
D.Accepting a commission after the client has officially terminated the services of the previous PE in writing.
Explanation: The Code of Professional Conduct and Ethics Rules explicitly prohibit a Professional Engineer from knowingly attempting to supplant another PE after definite steps have been taken by the client to employ the other PE.
