Explanation:

When filling a prescription for a controlled substance, the prescriber's Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) number is required. This number is used to track and regulate the prescribing of controlled substances to prevent abuse and diversion. A nurse's signature is not required for filling such prescriptions. A pharmacy's fax number and the patient's employer's address are not necessary details for filling a controlled - substance prescription.

Answer:

B. Prescriber's DEA number
