please select the best answer from the choices provided

Explanation:

Mark is a new investor with debts, needing help with long - term investment planning (like for retirement) and debt - investment navigation. A financial planner specializes in creating comprehensive financial plans, including investment strategies and debt management for long - term goals. A full - service broker focuses more on executing trades. A discount broker offers low - cost trading with less advice. An accountant mainly deals with accounting and tax - related matters, not investment planning for long - term goals like retirement in the context of existing debts.

Answer:

d. Financial planner
