$c - Titles and other words associated with a name
Includes qualifying information such as
•titles designating rank, office, or nobility, e.g., Sir
•terms of address, e.g., Mrs.
•initials of an academic degree or denoting membership in an organization, e.g., F.L.A.
•a roman numeral used with a surname
•other words or phrases associated with the name, e.g., clockmaker, Saint.

Please note

RDA Rule 9.19.1.2 Title or Other Designation Associated with the Person

a)a title of royalty (see 9.4.1.4) or nobility (see 9.4.1.5)
b)the term Saint (see 9.6.1.4)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

EXAMPLES OF SITUATIONS : suppose there is an NAR already established as [100-1- Haider, Salman]. Now while cataloging we come across a different person named as "Salman Haider"

Question 1: Can we use Dr. in subfield c to differentiate NAR. (e.g. only information available on the resource Dr. Salman Haider ; no other information available on the resource or on the web)
Question 2: Can we use Ph. D. in subfield to differentiate NAR (e.g. only information available on the resource Salman Haider, Ph. D. ; no other information available on the resource or on the web)
Question 3: Can we use period of activity of the person belonging to 20th/21st century in subfield to differentiate NAR (e.g. only information available on the resource Salman Haider ; no other information available on the resource or on the web)

RDA -- INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND AND HISTORY

Resource Description and Access ( RDA ) is a standard for cataloguing that provides instructions and guidelines on formulating data for resource description and discovery.
