In a Bluebook-style caption, which abbreviation correctly represents 'Incorporated' following the last name of a party such as 'Sabine Pilot Servs.'?

In Bluebook captioning, the suffix after a party’s name shows its corporate form, and for an entity that is incorporated the standard abbreviation is Inc. So Sabine Pilot Servs. would be written as Sabine Pilot Servs., Inc. in the caption, with a comma before the suffix and Inc. capitalized with a period. The other options correspond to different kinds of corporate forms (Ltd. for Limited, Corp. for Corporation, Co. for Company) and do not indicate incorporation. This is why Inc. is the correct choice.
