o none of these! (you know that jesus had no surname, dr. dunn.)
o the carpenter
o the nazarene
o the son of mary
o the son of joseph
o the christ

Explanation:

In the historical and cultural context of Jesus' time, surnames as we know them today did not exist. "Jesus of Nazareth" identified him by his place of origin. "The Carpenter" was a reference to his trade - like work, "The Nazarene" was a demonym, "The son of Mary" and "The son of Joseph" were ways to identify him by his parents, and "The Christ" is a title meaning the anointed one. So he had no surname in the modern sense.

Answer:

NONE OF THESE! (You know that Jesus had no surname, Dr. Dunn.)
