- D.
  
  Look for identification to determine ownership
Correct Answer
C. Take it to the department of consumer services or a cab company having a lost and found facility

Explanation
When a chauffeur finds any package, article, baggage, or goods left in the vehicle, the proper procedure is to take it to the department of consumer services or a cab company that has a lost and found facility. This ensures that the item is safely stored and can be returned to its rightful owner. Reporting it to the police department may not be necessary unless the item is suspicious or poses a threat. Taking it back to the last destination address may not be feasible or practical, especially if the address is far away or if the chauffeur has other passengers to attend to. Looking for identification to determine ownership is a good step, but ultimately, the item should be handed over to the appropriate lost and found facility.
