The correct answer is

specialized knowledge and training

A profession is distinguished from an ordinary job by the level of expertise and preparation it demands from the person practising it.

To provide a genuine service and earn a livelihood, a professional must possess specialised knowledge along with structured training in that field.

Physical strength and speed, tools and machinery, and interest and entertainment may support certain kinds of work, but they do not define what makes an occupation a profession.
